Fabric: Embroidered Cotton from JoAnns
Accessories: Pearl Snap Fasteners
I like this top, but wish it was a little more fitted, I should have taken it in at the side seams.
I adore the snap fasteners, they were really easy to apply, so much faster even compared to the machine made automatic button holes.
I spent a lot of time laying out the pattern pieces over the fabric for the stripes to match.

Very nice! I, too, recently discovered the joys of pearl snaps like that. My ah-ha! moment came after battling with a stretch woven that my sewing machine just would NOT sew buttonholes in!
