If you take this dreadfully coloured fabric:
add some of this
mixed with equal parts of this
cut out using this
and try to avoid doing this
and with any luck you’ll end up with this
I lengthened the sleeves on the pattern to make them full length. Next time out I think I’ll take a smidge off, but its very nice having full length sleeves…not something I often achieve in RTW.
I really want to make this again…but next time as a dress!
so glad you managed to overcome the little hitches, lol. It’s turned out well and you’re enjoying it
Sometimes I astonish myself with just how daft I can be. It all turned out ok in the end…I love this top!
All that effort really paid off. A lovely top -and don’t you look slim in those skinny jeans!
Thank you and thank you! I wish all of me were as skinny as my legs…but I’m working on it!
I missed this – something funny has happened to my subscriptions I think! Anyway, glad I now seem to be sorted – this is really lovely. You are looking very svelte and glamorous 🙂 I started to cut out my trousers yesterday and cocked up the fabric completely and only managed to cut out the back…will have to see if I can use it for something else.
Oh crap. I hope it’s salvageable. Perhaps a panelled skirt?
Thanks for the kind comments. I’ll take svelte and glamorous, thank you very much.
Hi Evie,
I’ve made this pattern up and am loving your version. I think a dress would be lovely …
I’m seeing it in red. But obviously I’ll avoid cutting a big chunk out of it next time! Doh!
