ME: I'm having the hardest time getting back into my sewing mood. I just can't make up my mind what to make.
MY MOTHER: Why don't you just make a top.

| That was a wonderful suggestion, thanks Mom! So enter Vogue 9204. A pattern I fell in love with at first sight when it was first released. |
This pattern coupled with a gorgeously drappy fabric (I actually don't know the fabric type, or fiber content) that was gifted to me by my sew friend
Brenda, Ms._bystyle from Alabama. I just know that it's pretty, and fit my need for a pop of much needed color for my new Fall wardrobe.

At times mom really does know best! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat top looks beautiful. And like a great gal wardrobe piece.
Thank you so much. Yes Mom always knows best!
DeleteHappy to see you got your sewing mojo back! Very nice top and lovin the modified bell sleeve.
ReplyDeleteThank you Regina!
DeleteWhat a wonderful top! I've been eyeing that pattern...
ReplyDeleteIt's an easy pattern Irene. I'm looking for more drappy fabric to make a second one.
DeleteBeautiful, just what you need to refuel the sewing tank.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteThat's a beautiful top, Faye, and should get you back into the sewing mood. Next!...
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah. I think making this worked!
DeleteBeautiful shade of red Linda! Nice top with a twist...the bell sleeve looks great! Enjoy wearing it and glad you completed something so quick. Now on to some more new clothes...right?

Thank you Cecil. I love this top and hopefully I can get out of that slump!
DeleteLovely! I really like that this style has come back. I always liked it and its so versatile.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bunny, I love it too!
DeleteMom always knows best! What a great color!
ReplyDeleteYes she does A!
DeleteGreat top and I love that color! If that doesn't get that sewing mojo pumped up I don't know what will!
ReplyDeleteLove-love-love tunics and a red one on top of that! Very beautiful Faye!
ReplyDeleteThat color is beautiful! A nice draped top is exactly the thing for fall, and your mother was right: a pretty top is easy to make and get you started sewing again.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marjie!
DeleteVery pretty blouse, and red also satisfies the need for a little color. It good to be back to sewing, right? Believe it or not, I'm struggling too. So today I decided to stop by a few of my favorite sewing blogs to help motivate me. Nice jump start, Ms. Faye.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cennetta, and it was so nice seeing you scope the other day too.
DeleteThis is so beautiful, Faye. I've been in the same boat - zero sewing mojo. I just finished making a top a day ago and it has really brought my mojo back. I love your pattern and the fabric goes so well with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteBeautiful top, Faye and the colour is gorgeous. Glad to see you got over the hump, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathy!
DeleteI love this pattern.. and that fabric and color are gorgeous.. You will be able to wear this blouse with lots of things too.. Love it. Proud your mom told you to sew a top.. Moms give us such good advice..
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy! And yes, Moms do give the best advice.
DeleteLovely blouse and agree that red is a great way to satisfy the need for color.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheila!
DeleteIt's gorgeous Faye!
