feeling flowery
Progress on the sewing-for-my-own-person front.
I loooove this fabric! I think it's from Yuwa, but I don't remember. I shoulda saved the selvedge. I got it from superbuzzy last year thinking it would become a purse. It's better wearable.
If only the top fit me a teensy bit better. I think I am officially done with this pattern. Simplicity/BBW 3835 is not the end-all be-all top pattern that had I hoped it would be. I think I need more detail, like these (via sew mama sew). That Rae is a genius I think. I've been wanting to try a top with pleats in the neckline since I saw one in the Anthropologie catalog last spring. BTW, that top was on sale when I went there in Indy last weekend. It fit poorly, which made me happy for not ordering it, and all the more determined to make one like it.
Oh, one more thing. That elastic is coming out of the sleeves quicker than you can say "This is cutting off my gosh darn circulation and making me irritable!"
Wow, cute fabric. I have always been into really loud, big prints - must be the cubana in me - but Im starting to really appreciate the more delicate prints! Very nice shirt.
I'm pretty crazy about that yellow shirt (in the link) but yours is nothing to shake a stick at.
Your top turned out so cute!
It looks cute! I totally agree on the elastic... I have made 2 of these tops & if I make another I am definitely going to skip the elastic, it is just annoying :)
such a cute top! the fabric is perfect.
I've made two of those tops and yours look great :)
I absolutely love that fabric. What a great print. Someday I'd love to make my own clothes ... until then, I'll live vicariously through you. :)
