Some summer wardrobe sewing...Built by Wendy (Simplicity) 3835 in a super soft cotton with a tiny honeycomb pattern. I wanted some nice, light, everyday-sort of tops, and this pattern is just that. I have two more in the works and am changing up the sleeves a bit for some variety. I found all my fabrics on the clearance shelf for $2 - $4 a yard, and with the pattern picked up during JoAnn's $1.99 sale, these tops aren't costing much!This afternoon I'll be sewing ~ hope your day is a good one :)
Cute top! Great job! The only sewing I ever do is piecing quilts together. Maybe I should try this pattern out. I would love some new, cheap, clothes!
ReplyDeleteI love it - it looks so cool and comfortable - great shopping!!!
ReplyDeleteBless....
It's cute! It looks so summery and cool. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute top. I really like the material, it looks so soft and I like the finished lenghth too. Hugs, Linda.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love that top!! I have made 2 and my daughter has made one herself.. We actually didn't put the elastic in the sleeves as we felt they fit great without. We added a bit of length as we like our tops longer so if you raise your arm it doesn't come up much. I love how you can change it up and have so many different looks! I am off to sew as well, and possibly do a bit of weaving and knitting if I can squeeze it in today.
ReplyDeleteCute top! My Dani has made several tops for herself from that pattern and they are so cute and fresh looking.
ReplyDeleteGotta love 3835! Yours looks cool and classy.
ReplyDeleteCute top! I've been thinking that I want to make a few more tops for summer too -- now to find the time!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a nice top. I especially love the way the fabric looks so cool, it looks like linen! I like the cost also! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute top. Nice and airy, perfect for those hot days. You did a lovely job.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I love this. it reminds me of a top I bought 1 summer ago and it shrunk in the wash. Now it belongs to my daughter.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't manufacturer's prewash?
Maybe I ought start sewing clothes again.
Such a cute top! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI've seen several people doing these tops recently - but they're all skinny minnies like you! I wonder how it would look on someone like me? They look cute!
