Last year my Mum and I had a crafternoon which surprisingly turned out to be quite productive. She put the finishing touches to a quilt she had been making and I made the Class Picnic top from Oliver and S. We were just going into some warmer weather so I thought the 3/4 sleeves would be perfect for that time of year. I did intend to make the shorts too but unfortunately never got around to it, I guess I'll make them next year.
The fabric is a bit busier than something I would normally use but I was drawn to it in the shop. I originally bought it for another pattern but decided it would be better suited to this one instead. The colours are a pink and a brown and it actually co-ordinated well with many things in Little Miss' wardrobe. (PS she started "riding" her ladybird after watching Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom. So cute!)
Unfortunately I don't have a good shot of her wearing it as I took these before I started the blog. The pattern went together nicely. I think the best bit was the elastic at the shoulders. It just magically worked and all the seams lined up nicely. I love how Oliver and S patterns manage to do that.
