Another Obsession....

 

...it was just a matter of time really! I have made another sleeveless top, similar to the first one I made here. I am so much happier with this one though. I really took my time over it, trying it on at every stage and adjusting the fit to make sure it was right.

 

 

I really like the fabric, it's just my style. I like my ditsy florals! I have some more fabric in a soft green that is destined to become yet another sleeveless top. Even though the first top has some issues with the fit, I really like wearing it so I feel it is only sensible to make more!

 

 

The three of us went out for dinner tonight and I was very happy to be wearing my new top for the first time!

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. It looks great on you! I really need to get a move on with my clothes sewing - I spend too much time thinking about it and trying to decide what to make. I should just get on with it! Looking forward to seeing the soft green top when you've made it!

  20. It looks great on you and the pattern is perfect. The more you make the more you use that pattern and frankly that makes good sense.

  26. Wow, I love this top! I am a fan of florals too, so this is something I would wear. It looks a bit complicated, I am quite new to sewing and stick to cushions and basic skirts. I'd love to make something like this in the future. I can tell I am going to be inspired coming over here! :)
