I haven't actually sewn a peasant top in a while. I love what a quick project it is. And it's pretty forgiving. I didn't use a pattern for this one.

Riley Blake Chevron Stash-- Top #1
Remember how I won the Riley Blake fat quarter bundle? Well, that lovely chevron has been stacked on my shelf and staring at me, begging me to use it. So yesterday, during naps, I finally acquiesced and made this peasant top for Riley.
I wanted something that popped, so I grabbed a solid black cotton that I had. But I didn't want a black-and-white contrast, so I went with the tonal aqua chevron. I wanted it to be good for layering as we go into Fall, so I made wider
sleeves and a tighter neckline (so a t-shirt wouldn't peek out the top).

Now onto the next chevron! Maybe a little sumpin-sumpin for Brooksy-boy?

what a great top for your daughter - and great stash buster too! I'm currently attempting to sew my boys' fall/winter wardrobe with only upcycled materials or things in my stash - I'd love for you to come check it out! ~Suzanne
