After spending an hour or so tracing off Jalie 2804 (the empire crossover top) something told me that before I cut into my fabric I should probably re-check my measurements. You see, last night I put on a shirt that I had purchased shortly after delivering and noticed how large it looked on me – after pulling out the tape measure, low and behold, I’ve gone down a size! So, it looks like I’m back to tracing this pattern off again. UGH. I did finally decide on a material:

I purchased this Dainty Floral Jersey print from Gorgeous Fabrics back in April and have been waiting for the perfect pattern before using it. I thought that it had a nice summery feel to it and was just right for this top. Maybe by Monday I’ll be FINALLY ready to sew!
