It's such a great staple pattern, this (I especially love the neck binding on this version). <br />I wonder if you're being a little hard on yourself re sewing at the moment?? It sounds like life is pretty intense for you all right now, so completing ANY project is a triumph!For what it's worth, when I read the above I certainly wasn't thinking "another simple top??"; I was amazed that you were doing so much and still managing to create glorious things like this! Well done you :)<br />(Oh, and toast is absolutely a viable dinner option...)Danielle Krivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10423009648089810339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-88602659691910336152015-08-13T12:30:04.423+01:002015-08-13T12:30:04.423+01:00Love this one Helen fabric is fab!

I also struggle with finding time to sew during the week. I'm trying a new 15-minutes a day approach, which I find helps me get on with a project. And since I find the whole sewing process so relaxing, it's 15 minutes of relaxation too!

I think you're doing well fitting in any sewing at all but I know how you feel as I had been feeling the same, sewing lots of tops from patterns i'd used before. I treated myself to a day's annual leave & spent most of it working on my Victoria blazer. I'd never have had the concentration to do it during naptime or in the evening & it felt great! Goodness knows when I'll get it finished but at least I've started! Sorry for the long reply but basically I'm recommending you take a day's holiday!
