I don't think I'm that great at making tops because there are a lot of small fiddly things per square inch on them than most of the things I make, even on a simple garment like this one. But I'm improving? Making tops is part of my "wardobe creation" and "getting more precise/better with my sewing" dual goals of this year. And I even used up some of my black double-fold bias tape that's been in my bin for ages, so this counts as stash busting as well!
i'm real wrinkly here. oops. |
This photo is really wrinkly: part of the reason is that I made this one size too big. I made the size 6 and it was skintight, so I skipped a size and made the 10. WRONG. Next time (when I make the pattern as-written) I'll make an 8. I used a thin cotton(/poly blend?) and bias tape from my stash. This is a modified version of Simplicity 2154's blouse pattern. I moved the zip to the back and eliminated the front keyhole and bow, which made it necessary to mess with the collar a little bit. I just fudged it and added maybe 1/2 cm to the front and back edges of the pattern piece. Cheater. My favorite part? The exposed zip:
twee in the front, punk in the back. sort of. |
inspired by this top. someday i'll stop with the t swift. |
