I knew I wanted to make a <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/shop\/fira-dress-top-sewing-pattern.html\">Fira Top<\/a> for myself since this pattern&#8217;s release. To give it a spring\/summer vibe, I used a light blue eyelet fabric and lined it in a lightweight cotton fabric. I wasn&#8217;t able to find the correct color, so I dyed a white eyelet pattern that I liked.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Liesl-Co-Sharon-Fira-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-79065 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Liesl-Co-Sharon-Fira-2-760x950.jpg\" alt=\"Make a fabulous summer wardrobe piece using the Fira Top and cotton eyelet fabric\" width=\"760\" height=\"950\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Liesl-Co-Sharon-Fira-2-760x950.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Liesl-Co-Sharon-Fira-2-500x625.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Liesl-Co-Sharon-Fira-2-768x960.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Liesl-Co-Sharon-Fira-2-1200x649.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is truly another clever pattern!
