TOP 2 finished...

This top is very simple, yet very unique.  I don't ever recall seeing one like it before, but when I first saw Ebony's slightly vintage New Look pattern I knew I wanted it.  She let me borrow the pattern, so after tracing the single pattern piece (yes, only one pattern piece)  I reached into the stash to find a fabric that would fit the bill.  I think this top will fit right into summer.

NEW LOOK 6140
The single pattern piece serves as both the front and back of the top.  It's sewn together into an oversized V-necked tee and then the shoulders are crisscrossed.


I skipped over my white top to get this one completed.  Hopefully I'll finish the white one by tomorrow.

  17. That is a great pattern find. Your top is adorable. I bet it's really cute on too.
    I picked up some striped fabric today. I'm making a really (should be) easy tank top. It's only two pieces. I traced all the pieces and will be ready to cut the pattern out probably tomorrow. I'm excited to see how it turns out. I will keep you posted. Thanks again for all of your help.
