I made the 4th one white linen and added lining but in the front only (I didn't have enough fabric for the back part, but the lining is not important on the back side at all) It turned out so so beautiful. I think this is going to be my favourite blouse for this summer. I'm gonna make much more in other colors/fabrics It is so unique and easy to make, it is nice with or without straps Thank you for this video ❤️

Thank you so much for this video! I am a total beginner, and after days searching for an easy first project, the first of this tops is the only one I feel is doable for me: only straight lines and very easy measurements, all the other videos feature complicated (for me) sleeves and curved collars which would be a nightmare... I just learned how to sew more or less straight on my sewing machine 😂 So again, thank you!

What is marvellous with your little tops is that they can be worn over a tee shirt. It gives that extra bit of modesty (without having to wear a bra, which are so uncomfortable). It's not as hot as a waistcoat (which I wear in winter, but find to hot in summer). Thank you so much. I will definitely be trying them, and even mixing and matching which strap to do... So many options. I do love the encased elastic for the straps. Thank you.
