I spent the afternoon at the county fair wearing it, so it may be a little wrinkled!
The only Amy Butler pattern I had on hand was the Cabo Halter, and it's been sitting here for several years, so I finally took a stab at it.
The only thing that bugs me is that my invisible zippers are never invisible. I must be doing something wrong!
The fabric is just your standard calico from JoAnn. I think over the years they have gotten much more modern. I just wish they offered better jersey or knit fabrics.
Overall this was a very easy, quick project. It was easier than other halter tops I've made in the past. Too bad summer's is coming to an end!
Autumn in New England is something to look forward to though. Everyone is getting used to their school routines, and thoroughly enjoying their weekend.
Next up: fall Hoodie for Maura ( yes she still lets me sew her clothes even though she's in high school!)
