Ready for vaca!

I finally completed B5922.  I ended up having to make two darts in the back neck area as the center closure was sticking out.  Between packing and such I made the final tweaks.

Here are two photos of the front; side view I took were not good.  I will get DH to take photo while  on vacation.  Heading to the beach.  DH's niece will be house setting for us while we are gone.
I took the photos in the bathroom mirror, not the best place for photo and excuse the roll of toilet paper in the photo.  Could not crop it out.



I think the top looks much better in natural light.  I am pleased with the final fit.  I will probably make this again.

      Thank you! I had a great vacation and experiencing a little after vacation blues. Sewing will be good therapy.

    It has turned out nicely - always satisfying when that happens.

    It's never easy taking photos - I can't even get good light in the bathroom :)

      Thank you! I had a great vacay and truly did not want to come back home. Have to work though so I can sew and vacay again!
