Marimekko

This summer i got a job at finnish textile, fashion and homeware designer and makers Marimekko.
Best summer retail job I could ever ask for! 
As well as selling all their sweet clothes, cushions, kids wear and homewares we also sell their screenprinted fabrics by the metre all still printed by hand and designed in Finland!!

It was only a matter of time that I bought some and made a sweet top! so first up is Maija Isola's 1960 print!!
Just a simple shift top, with bias binding to finish the neckline and arm holes
I thought i might continue the curves in the design and do a curved hem. Which also helped with shaping...
Ze finished top! Something fun to wear to work now too!! hurrah!
