I really thought this week would be pretty low key as far as time commitments and that I'd have plenty of time to sew. Well, I forgot about a football game on Wednesday night (Chiefs won again!) plus a field trip to the farm that I'll be chaperoning tomorrow. Add in another football game Saturday morning, a party that afternoon, and a wedding to attend on Sunday and pfft! goes my sewing time. That's the way it goes sometimes.
After the pants I wanted a simple easy project that would take me an hour or so to sew. The little girls do need some new long sleeve tops and I have several patterns traced off in their size. But none of them were making me excited to sew. So, I headed downstairs to the computer trolling through various websites until inspiration struck. This top caught my eye.

I took the Oliver + S Hopscotch top and made the front yoke one piece. I also widened the sleeve cap so that I could gather it at the shoulder seam. Next time I'll curve the bottom of the yoke a bit more. A little interfacing on the inside and 2 buttons later and the little girls have a new top!

You can use any basic t-shirt pattern to get a similar look with a few modifications. Brittney used the Flashback Skinny Tee to make an adorable dress for one of her twin girls. She's the queen of the FST...I think I counted 19 in her flickr photostream.:)
