My favorite TNT t-shirt pattern - New Look 6735. Isn't this the most gorgeous knit you've ever seen? I love it so much that I stopped several times during the construction to give it a little hug. I purchased this from my friend Ebony the end of last summer and it's so soft and just the best knit ever. I'm currently working on a dress from this very same fabric - I thank God for Ebony (and KEITH for the internet).
New Look 6901 surplice top that has a little ruching on the side. I've tried this type top several times with no success - others have gapped really bad in the front. This time I prayed and took a chance on yet another version - AND IT WORKED OUT FINE! This is another Ebony fabric that you will be seeing again in an upcoming dress.
Finally, I used New Look 6940 with my Vogue Expo fabric. The top looked much better on the pattern envelope, and I wish I had selected another pattern for my fabric. Hind sight is 20/20, right? The top is too low cut - Thank God for safety pins, ad has too much ease overall. It is however wearable.
Not a bad sewing week after all.......
You've made some great tops. I know people rave about cross over front tops and wrap tops, but I never have much success with them. I love the fabrics you've chosen. There's nothing like a knit print top for sewing satisfaction!
ReplyDeleteWell done Faye. I love the tops, especially the wrap-style one. Gorgeous fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLove the prints you picked out. Looks like having the internet down did wonders for your productivity.
ReplyDeleteThose are all just beautiful! What a nice wardrobe you'll have for spring /summer.
ReplyDeleteAt least you used your time productively and made three awesome tops! I'm really love the first and second ones!
ReplyDeleteAnd I understand about the internet thing...when mine goes down the kids say I'm a bear, growling and carrying on! *LOL* But that's because they have blackberries and can still twitter and facebook! While their mother is still "old-fashioned" with just the internet!
Greatt t-shirts! I love that you give your fabric hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteI sure hope those tops perked you up because they are so fun and funky!
