First up:
You know that I flipped when I first saw the picture of this free offering from Colette Patterns.com - the Sorbetto Tank Top.
"the simple tank is quick to make, with no closures to sew and a loose, swingy fit inspired by the easy elegance of the early 60's."
That description fit me to a tee and I knew I had to have one. I printed off the pattern thinking I'd get to it someday. I just didn't know just how soon someday would be.So I made up not one...
But two...
Mmmmmm, maybe I need to do a third in a solid color. I'll think about that tomorrow. I also made this cute little vest from that gloriously soft $13.00 (which I got at 1/2 price of course) knit from Joann's. This is from Simplicity 2283. The shoulder seam and back neckband was a little tricky but I made it work.
I'm pretty pleased with today's accomplishments, but tomorrow is yet another day...
Happy sewing y'all!
Isn't it great when you actually get to sew! I sometimes think I spend more time planning projects, shopping for fabric on line, reading blogs and magazines, and just plain dreaming about sewing than I spend at my machine.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it's wonderful to daydream about sewing and even more wonderful to spend time at the machine creating! Lovely tops Faye.
ReplyDeleteWow, you really made great use of your time. Lovely new tops and the vest is great, too. I have seen alot of those in RTW.
ReplyDeleteNicely done, 2 new summer tops! I just bought 2 cotton fabrics off the the red tag tables today at JoAnns(with an additional 1/2 off!)to make this cute little top. Hope to get at them after the holiday weekend :-)
ReplyDeleteYup! I'm going to sew up that Sorbetto top too! Good job.
ReplyDeleteNice Sorbettos! Your pattern is in the mail. 4-5 business days! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your tops and looking forward to trying sorbetto again.
ReplyDeleteLove the slideshow stitch up a dress photos.
Two more amazing sorbetto tops!! I really must make one (or more!) myself. Time to fire up the printer.
ReplyDeleteSweet! It seems like a lot of sewistas are making great tops with this pattern.
ReplyDeleteOh Faye, your tops are so nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive day! And you ended up with such great pieces at the end of it!
ReplyDeleteYour sorbettos look great! Did you have any issues with pooling in the back? I did. I managed to lessen it, but I still have some issues.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blouses Faye! I really love the vest with it too, just gorgeous! I'm envious and can't wait until I'm on "sewcation" in two weeks!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect little shells!
ReplyDeleteYour sorbettos look really cute!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth are nice! How do they feel to wear? I don't know why I've seen them and think movement is restricted....
ReplyDeleteWow! What an accomplishment. You have been very productive. Love your tops and your vest.
ReplyDeleteNice tops. Okay now I'm going to download the pattern. Lol Thanks,
