Mustard Yellow Flower Top

I had a fun day off last week of a dentist appointment and an interview in two different towns (both different from where I live) and involved a wide variety of buses and trains, but also somehow led me to the fabric shop I used to visit.  I bought some yellow flowery jersey from the remnants bin, I decided to try to make a top and a skirt.  I used a t-shirt and a wrap around top as guides for my pattern pieces and the construction was fairly simple although I was severely stimed by trying to hem jersey. It goes all crinkly, and I think I will unpick it and replace with lace.  I added lace to the mid section for some detail and fun.
 Above is the top deconstructed, so you can see all the pattern pieces.  There was only five pieces in total and some lace so it was fairly simple.
