The second project was a simple cotton top. I bought this fabric about a year ago in a cute shop in Cincinnati called Fiberge Knits and Bolts. She has a very nice selection of fabrics and yarns. Well worth the trip. I really like the loose cotton tops with capri pants. They hang loose from the body to keep you cool when it's hot but the sleeves also keep me from getting too cold in air conditioned restaurants.
To add an additonal personal touch I made a necklace from fabric that picked up all the colors in the top. If you haven't tried making your own fabric jewelry I recommend you give it a try. This necklace was made using the "Ficklesticks" method. Ficklesticks has a website where you can buy a starter kit that includes idea book and wire. I'm definitely going to do more textile jewelry in the future. There are so many beautiful ideas ways to use up fabric scraps and make something is totally you and totally unique.
