Honey, honey, how you thrill me aha!

As a child of the 70's and 80's, there simply had to be an ABBA analogy given the title of Toni's new blouse - introducing...

THE HONEY BLOUSE!



I made this using some voile that I picked up at Spotlight and I love the result, it drapes really nicely.

It's a cool and comfortable top to wear and I can see it being on constant cycle through the wash in the summer months.

The Honey blouse has a twisted band feature on the neck and arm bands and a cute side tie that you can tie in a bow or let it hang down like I have here.


It was really quick and easy to sew and as always it is lovely to make something for ME.

I will definitely be making more of these for summer - in fact I have more dots on hand ready to cut.

If you want to win yourself a copy of the pattern, head on over to Toni's blog and enter her giveaway, it closes on Monday October 3rd - so don't miss out!!

Loving your top. Great choice of fabric. I love voile. So light, soft and airy. Perfect for summer for sure.

Pretty! Love the fabric. Is voil any more difficult to sew with than regular quilting cotton?

Hi Karen, Do you think I could manage this ? That twisting neck thing kind of freaks me out....

It looks fantastic Karen! I can imagine getting a lot of use out of this pattern, once I can get my hands on one.
