Cleaning out closet discovered this early make. The armholes were uncomfortable, so it did not get worn much. The linen is butter soft. I had to try and save it. I removed bindings on neck and armholes and discovered I had not clipped my curves. I reassembled, and added some decorative stitching and a bit of piping around neck. It is so much more comfortable and is going back into the closet.

Pattern hack of Indygo Junction Slight Sleeve top. Drafted front scoop pockets, added length, lined hems, topstitching, bound sleeves, trim around neck, pleated instead of gathered. I did alter original pattern to fit my 1X bust and 3X hips, and my sloping short shoulders. Linen with coordinating cotton chambray stripe both found in remnant bins. Cool comfy top for summer.
