Peaches and Cream Spring Top

It has felt like spring around here the past couple of days, I'd say few, but that would be a lie.  We woke up to several inches of snow on Friday.  Sunday and Monday though, were beautiful.  It seems that every time the seasons change I realize that my wardrobe situation is in pretty sad shape.  Last year at this time I was filling out my maternity clothes. So, to give myself another warm weather option, I  made myself a top.  The funny thing is, that this totally could have been a first or second trimester maternity top. Don't you worry your pretty little head, I'm not pregnant.

The top has two layers of knit fabric.  The top layer is a thin single knit, and is a lovely shade or peachy pink.  The  bottom layer is a cream interlock knit.  I layered the peachy one on top, and added several pieces of cream lace around the neckline, hem, and above the bust.

The back has a simple little pearl closure.  The top is really comfortable, and the cap sleeves will be great for summer as well.  

I almost turned the top into a dress, but I don't wear dresses much during the week, and I thought that it would be a bit too casual for church. I'm also afraid that it looks a bit like a nightgown...oh well, it's comfortable, it's new, and I like it just fine.

So have you done any springtime sewing for yourself?  I have a feeling that I will need to be sewing up several more tops before summer hits.  How about Rae's Spring Top Series, are you following it?  I've never submitted anything before, but I suppose that there's a first time for everything.
