An easy make - just what I needed. This won't be one of my favorites but it will be worn. I was up in the air trying to decide whether I wanted to use the elasticized hemline but finally opted to go with it.
Surplice tops/bodices - I'm always attracted to them but often not totally happy with the results. This top is not as bad as others I've made far as gaping is concerned. What is it about me and surplice tops/bodices? I must have removed 2 inches of the part that wraps over to meet at the side seam to make it fit without gaping, and then stitched it down to make it remain closed to my liking. Well one Spring knit top down and countless others to go...
Great top and fit. That pattern is on my to sew list.
ReplyDeleteGlad you ended your hiatus. I really like the top.

ReplyDeleteThank you Amanda!
DeleteI like it. Could you put a snap at the wrap to help with keeping it in place?
ReplyDeleteA snap just might do the trick Tasha. I never thought of that!
DeleteWelcome back and what a cute top! You have been missed!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane!
DeleteGlad you are over the hump...cute top! I have that pattern in my to-do pile
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new top Patty!
DeleteThis top really looks nice with the pants. It will be versatile for casual dressy and casual depending in bottom garment. The fabric is gorgeous! Love this top!

Thanks Cecil. Trying to get a new project started tonight!
DeleteWhat a great top! It's nice that you're sewing again. We get so busy, don't we? I've been cutting out endless squares for a denim quilt for our camper and I've also been teaching myself how to crochet (with lots of Youtube videos) so I can make a granny square afghan. That hasn't left much time for sewing!
ReplyDeleteThanks much! At least you have still been being creative!
DeleteI think it looks great! I'm in a major slump myself. Just not motivated to sew anything, although I've got a mostly finished outfit waiting on the dressform but I'm just not feeling any love for it. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel Debbie. Hope your motivation returns real soon!
DeleteI cut two dresses last weekend (from a 5 yard piece of pink knit). Now to assemble them this weekend. Or maybe Monday, when it's supposed to be raining. After all, this is shaping up to be the warmest weekend we've had since October, and I need the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteCute fitting top!
ReplyDeleteGreat top. Love the whole outfit. Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Faye, and so do you.
