Notes	This top is a combination of upcycled fabric and new fabric. The pink/blue patterned fabric is cut from another top, a fine silk/cotton blend which tore across the back but otherwise was in good condition. The navy blue is new 100% cotton. I chose this pattern specifically because the front insert would work well with the front opening part of the top to be upcycled. The pin tucks and buttons are as they were on the old top.I used iron-on stabiliser to strengthen the used fabric and match it weight-wise with the new.
