Green Lawn Pleated Top
I guess it's all about the clothes for me this week! Here's another one of my Spring Tops, as part of my ongoing Spring Top Sewalong. The sewalong will wrap up soon (on Monday), so if you're still thinking about it, now's the time!This top was made with a lovely lightweight green lawn I found at Mood in NYC last fall. It's based on the same pattern as another pleated top I posted last fall, but without the elastic shirring and with an added band at the bottom.

I wore it last week for four days straight. Not because I love it so much that I couldn't wear anything else (though I do like it!!! A LOT!!), but actually just because I kept putting it on in the morning, thinking I would find time to take pictures in it, but then never did. Mr Rae was probably starting to wonder.

Works nicely with the red moccasins that I both love and hate because they always turn my feet and socks bright red. I ruined a white skirt last week by accidentally leaving the skirt sitting on top of the shoes. BAH. I like the combination of red and green together, even if it might be a little Christmasy. Anyway, do you guys know how to sew pleats? It's so ridiculously easy!! I'll have to show you how sometime.
