I have almost finished the one below in an ethnic batik-looking cotton. I will add some wood bead detailing to the neck. Probably just another hour on this one.
This cotton border print will be sewn in a slightly longer length than the pattern depicts. I may add some Indian Shisha work to it. Haven't decided yet. But for those of you who might be interested in adding it to your creations, there is an excellent tutorial at Joyful Abode
This pique will be sewn as is. No additional embellishment.
I'll post an update with pics when I get the shirts done.

I can't wait to see the tops when they are finished.
Were all of these fabrics in your stash already?
The Indian mirror embroidery work sounds interesting.
Yes, all from my stash. I'm on a Fabric Fast this year. I'm only buying fabrics that are needed to finish a project from my stash (such as backing for a quilt or a quilt color I'm short on). I'm also allowing myself to buy fabrics if the project is a gift or charity work. I started with approx 800 yards in my stash and I'm currently at 659 yards. I've sewn up or given away about 140 yards!
What!?! Did you say no embellishment? Who are you and what have you done with the real Charity?
Just kiddin' ya'! I love the first fabric. I'll be anxious to see it made up.
Hey..didn't you read the title? QUICK summer tops.
Charity
Love you creativity!
Best,
