Pattern Review – Cynthia Rowley 2497 modified
March 5, 2011
Long time no see Janet! She’s back this time with Cynthia Rowley’s 2497 (View C) as a top. The fabric is our 100% silk Madmen Floral, providing the perfect (farewell!) summer top.
The tiered skirt was made without a pattern, using a cotton/elastane remnant. The waistband is simply a folded over piece of Orbit, a viscose/spandex blend available in a large range of colours (not online but available instore).
She also added our braided trim around the seams and hem for an extra little detail. Ah, the simple things…
After a brief hiatus, Janet’s been sewing up a storm and I look forward to showing you a few more of her creations in the coming weeks.

Janet is so clever adapting patterns and I love the details in her garments. Can't wait to see her other creations.
I love the neckline on this pattern. The modifications on the pattern look really pretty and so well made.
Love this outfit Janet! I think i'll have to try out the Cynthia Rawley pattern myself 🙂
