Amy Butler SUN SURF HALTER sewn & ready for summer!

I've blogged on the Sun Surf Halter pattern by Amy Butler before, but wanted to share these latest versions. Fabric for this one : Sweet Jasmine - natural from the Daisy Chain collection.

Great fabric choice to show off a fake or real suntan!

Fabric used : Dandelion Fields- rose

Do not wear this style if you have a hairy back.

Amy Butler Sun Surf Halter sewn by Beth!

Here is what Beth had to say:

I am typically a Small/petite and I had to go to the Girls' XL size to get the right fit for myself, so mine's a tiny bit shorter than the regular pattern. I recommend anyone who's going to make it take the time to measure themselves first!

Thanks Beth for sharing your picture......next time don't crop off that pretty little head!
Yes, this pattern is a generous fit. I am finding that cutting one size smaller than what we typically wear is working well. As Beth mentioned, add back the length to the hem if there is a difference when using the smaller size.

Sun Surf Halter pattern by Amy Butler was super fast to sew!

Leaving pre-washed fabric in the dryer overnight is optional.

The weather has not inspired me to sew one of these little babies until now. In between horrible thunderstorms laced with tornadoes, we've had some warm spring weather.

I started thinking about the Sun Surf Halter and all of it's possibilities when a friend of mine was talking about making herself one to wear around the house.

For you Young Moms, it's modest style would take you almost anywhere! Some of us whom are NOT as young, may enjoy wearing this gem with Lounge pants on a lazy summer morning or as a bathing suit cover up.

I made this one from Amy Butler Midwest Modern 2 fabric. Noveau Trees - mustard.
The pattern is designed with generous fitting ease and longer length. If you are in between sizes, use the smaller size because of the generous fit. The Sun Surf Halter would look nice paired with skinny jeans or Capri pants.
As you can tell from the photo on the pattern cover, it hits at the hips. I can easily see this Amy Butler halter top as having another possibility ...... add a few more inches to turn it into a sun dress. Pedicure time is just around the corner girls!!
