Bluebells, Blue sky and a Blue top

The apple blossom is beautiful at the moment especially when the backdrop is blue sky.

I have been refashioning a top given to me.

The shirt was about a size 16 and too big but the fabric is so pretty I wanted to try and reuse it.
I took it appart completely (using scissors not a seam ripper) but left the buttoned front.

I used pattern 7b from the book Simple Modern Sewing, and managed to amend the neck and keep the original buttoned front as part of the new shirt (if that makes sense!). 

This is the result.

Sorry about the picture quality but the mirror was obviously a bit dusty
(dusting is not my strong point!!)
but I think you get the gist.
 

 

And here is a clearer picture with no me.

 

 

And a close up of the lovely fabric. A really fine soft cotton. 

 

And finally the prettiest blue of all at this time of year..
