I really love the Bonnie Top from Blue Ginger Doll and my previous versions in yellow and crazy geometric print get worn a lot. Because it is such a comfortable top I often reach for it in the morning, but at the same time I think it looks ace and often wear them out in the evening. So it was Bonnie I had in mind when Dragon Fly fabrics had a little sale in November and I purchased this beautiful print. It’s 95% cotton 5% spandex and it feels just wonderful.
There’s not much to say about Bonnie – I found the best fit is size 10 for chest and above, grading out to 12 at the hips. I also tried to reduce some of the gathers in the sleeves but I wasn’t overly successful.

Exactly – I need more wearable tops! Things you throw on no matter what the weather or mood.

Nice fabric. I have made one of these with the gathers removed completely, and I’ve also attached the lady skater skirt and made a couple of dresses!

Ooo – how did you remove the gathers completely? Reduce the curve between the notches? I bet it would look ace with the lady skater skirt on attached

I think I measured on the curve with my tape measure (between two points, maybe the notches) and then just reduced the curve until the measurement matched. I may have basted in a practice sleeve first too!

Good to know – I’ll try that next time as I would prefer no gathers at all!
