Summer Top #1

Posted by Liliana on
So like I have said before, thanks to quarantine, I do not have very many summer clothes and am in dire need of shorts and short-sleeved tops.

And also like I have said before, I decided to make some short-sleeved tops because I'm sick of waiting for quarantine to end. Also, it'll be something fun to do.

Well, guess what... the first one is done! I am so proud of it!

I had this gorgeous fabric that I'd been holding onto for forever, just waiting for that perfect project... and, well, this project was THE ONE.

I decided to use my dress pattern. Except, since this is a shirt, I drastically shortened the skirt, so now it's a pretty peplum top!

I decided not to do the darts on the front, which I kinda regret, but also kinda don't regret...

But over all, I really like it and am so proud of it!

Wow! That is so cute! You have amazing talent! It is so incredible that you can do that! Sewing by itself is hard, let alone making clothes!

Thanks Cozette! It's taken a lot of work to get to the point where I can do this sort of thing. A great help for me was Cal Patch's book Design-It-Yourself Clothes: Pattern Making Simplified. Also, tons of practice.
