Spring Kimono Top by Liza Jane

Spring Kimono Top by Liza Jane

Made from dark khaki linen and hand dyed fuchsia lace, metal buttons

Simplicity 2223 View B

The white tee underneath is also made by me, Burdastyle 2-2011, 102. It's actually a long sleeve tee that I modified- no sleeves, scoop neck and lingerie elastic sewn at the neckline instead of a binding.

 

I wanted to try my hand at dyeing something for a while now. I figured a bit of lace would be fun to start with. I did a sink dye with regular old Rit dye. I've been intrigued with this Simplicity pattern since it came out recently, especially the variation with the lace. I really like the kimono sleeve.

 

Thanks for the fun sewalong!
