Alabama Stitch - still a WIP

My poor Alabama Stitch top had been sitting neglected on my sewing table. I was almost done with all the stitched outlining of the printed flower pattern, but I think it was wearing on me, which is why I put it down and knit a sock instead. Yesterday, I picked it up again, finished the outlining, and even sewed some seams. Mmmm, progress.

just needs buttons

I also cut and sewed a non-muslin muslin for a top that I've been wanting to make out of my good fabric. Even though it's just the muslin, it ended up being pretty wearable, and I wish I had taken the time to match the stripes in the back. I just didn't really pay attention.

Roni's Gravatar I sort of like the unmatched stripes. On some things I like to see the lines.

Tracy's Gravatar I like the look of that stripy top. If the mismatch bothers you, just keep on moving so that no one has time to notice.

sulu-design's Gravatar I'm so glad you popped over to my blog and left a comment since it led me here to yours. I've been combing through your posts, ooohing and ahhhing over the pretty tutorials and wondering how it is that I read so many sewing-related blogs and am such a worthless seamstress myself. I'm thoroughly enjoying my visit here. Thanks.
