Laundry Day Tee from Love Notions

As soon as I saw images of the Laundry Day Tee, I knew I had to have the pattern. The shape of this top is just lovely with the swing hemline perfectly disguising menopausal tummies!

I had this navy blue Ponte Roma in stash and decided to make a lounge suit for our long flight to New York for our upcoming cruise in September 2023. The top choice was easy, this style of top is exactly what I love, comfortable and the swing style disguises many lumps and bumps and gives me confidence (although paired with the trousers I made, it did make me look a bit on the frumpy, dumpy side I feel). Still, comfort for the flight was the aim and that is exactly what I got.

I had the pattern printed at work on a large roll of paper as I couldn’t face printing lots of A4 sheets and sticking them together. The instructions were very clear and the pattern went together really well, the ponte was a dream to work with and even the neckline, which I was worried about in case it was either baggy or too tight, was easy to do. I loved making this top and will definitely make it again and may even make the dress version with long sleeves to wear with thick tights for winter.
