Regular readers probably saw this one coming, but yes, I needed one of these in navy blue 🙂
Again I cut a size medium, adding an additional inch to the length of the bodice. What more can I say? I absolutely love this version too! Please be warned, this may not be the last Astoria you see around here…

I think that title should read ‘Another Fabulous Astoria’ 🙂 Looks wonderful -again. 🙂
Very kind, thank you! 🙂
It looks great!! This is such a nice casual outfit. I really like how you’ve worn it with the striped shirt peeking out from the bottom.
Thank you, yes my idea of a perfect weekend outfit. My overlocker still misbehaving a little though, so booked in for a service…
Lovely colour!
Thank you! Well it is navy blue… 🙂
Looks great!
Kind of wishing I’d had both of these for Me Made May, would have made weekends far easier… Thank you!
Love this! Perfect for our not very summery weather…
Louise
Thank you! Yes, who would have thought that a fleece-lined sweatshirt would be perfect for July!? We’ve been seriously considering putting our Winter-weight duvet back on…
Goodness ~ makes me think about moving! We’re sweltering in heat & humidity, so it’s grand to view (with great longing) your lovely warm clothes! 😀
More than willing to swap for a while! 😉 Have totally given up on having any kind of Summer over here…
Definitely agree with a swap! Wonder whom we see to expedite? 😀 he-he!
Yes please! Keep those fabulous Astorias coming!
Thanks Hila. So cold today it’s been perfect!
What faBric did you use. Gorgeous.
Hi, the fabric is the same as last time, just in a different colour way. I think it was officially called ‘navy flecked fleece-lined sweat Shirting’ from Guthrie and Ghani’s online site.
Ahh I can’t keep up!!! I love this one – you know I like navy blue rather a lot too! I love the swishy hair in the second photo too! You’ve swapped your skirts for Astorias!! 😀
Thanks Beth 🙂 I’m blaming the weather, it’s so cold! My son (who takes the photos) loved the swishy hair shot too, so had to include it.
Your Astorias are lovely, and practical too! You should make more.
Thanks Linda, and I probably will… 😉
It looks perfect! Nice color, too!
Thanks Kyla. I’m really pleased with it 🙂
This looks great and just like a RTW wear top – in a good way! What kind of fabric did you use?
Thank you! It’s the same Guthrie and Ghani fabric as last time, not cheap but well worth it in my opinion 🙂
Looks great! What fabric did you use for this one? 🙂
Thank you! Same as last time but in a different colour way. We live in an old house so I’m always cold…
I know how you feel! I almost put the heating on last night!!!
Wow, lovely!
Thanks Abigail, it’s a really simple pattern, if you fancy giving it a go… 🙂
Wow, another fab Astoria this ones my favorite so far. The navy fabrics lovely. You’re seriously tempting me to subscribe to seamwork magazine.
Thank you! I’ve really liked about 75% of the projects so far, and I really like the idea of pretty simple, and relatively quick makes which is what they aim to provide.
