Finally, J's birthday present (from 3 years ago) is finished! This summer she selected the patterns and picked the fabrics. I am happy I made a test set first, as the shorts turned out to be a little too small.
The top is a size T, with V-length straps and length of the part on the back where the straps attach. To accommodate removable cups I added an extra layer of lining (combining both front pieces to create a single piece front). Also added 1cm of length to the mesh overlay.
The only change made to the leggings are the addition of 2cm to the length.

Since the pattern was released I loved it: Jalie 3901 (Kate), and so did little niece when her mom showed it to her. Needless to say that I picked this pattern to make her a birthday present. As I needed a break from all the pink, I decided on a blue/green mystique for colour and hope she likes it as well.

Some colleagues came up with the idea to make something simple for the four of us: a simple skirt (made from curtains) and a scarf, to wear with a rtw white blouse or shirt. In addition I decided to make an apron to go over the skirt, as was common in those days, and a cap (inspiration and tutorials are linked below).
