Well I have made good progress this weekend by finishing a couple of projects.
As mentioned in my previous post my Prym snaps arrived so I was able to finish McCalls 6116 which is actually a shirtdress, but I cut it off at the hip to produce this sort of tunic/shirt.
As mentioned in my previous post my Prym snaps arrived so I was able to finish McCalls 6116 which is actually a shirtdress, but I cut it off at the hip to produce this sort of tunic/shirt.
This was made from a remnant of coral coloured linen that I had left over after making two pairs of self-drafted cropped pants posted about here. I love these snaps and have bought a variety to use in other projects. I like this top with my white jeans, but it works well with the matching cropped pants worn with a white vest and the shirt left open.
I made my normal FBA and sway back adjustment on this top and can't recommend the pattern highly enough. I used my cover-stitch to top-stich all the seams on this shirt to give it a RTW look. I am really pleased that I have been converting my Bablylock Evolution from serger to cover- stitch really easily now, and love it. I would like to look at using the underside of the stitch on the right-side of the fabric to create a different look to some of my garments (watch this space).
I love this pattern and will be making a full length shirtdress later.
I will blog about my other items I completed this weekend separately (see following posts)
Catch you later..............
Wow- Pauline - such a great color on you and you are looking so fit!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha you are very sweet to say that.
DeleteI have never used snaps before - must give them a go! This top is a beauty - think I might just have to add it to my list...
ReplyDeleteJudith - I have bought several different types (even some that look like pearl buttons) so am keen to have a go on a cardigan now.
DeleteOh I love it! Perfect dress for cropping
ReplyDeleteGreat top and nice that you can make it into a dress. Love it with the white jeans. Bet it looks great with the matching crop pants also.
ReplyDeletethanks Ann - this top feels good on too so think I'll get a lot of wear out of it.
DeleteGreat top - lovely colour and goes great with the white jeans. Very fresh looking.
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteGreat top! This looks so great on you! Love the color, too!
ReplyDeletethanks
DeleteI know your business travel basics are better in the neutrals, but I adore it when you wear color, such as in this blouse. So lovely. I have not visited your blog in awhile. The weight loss is really noticeable. Good job. As a volunteer informal educator, I can certainly relate to your story about public speaking. The wedding updates are delightful. Love the car. ---Anita
ReplyDeleteVery pretty top! The snaps are a perfect compliment to the linen.
