i've been sewing quite a lot this summer, and i thought i would start sharing some of my finished projects. (thanks for the interest to those who have asked!)
so, here is my new blue top,
here is mike with a happy fig,
and here is me with a gnat flying into my face.
i used this pattern, with a couple of changes. (leaving out the puffs on the sleeves, and making a gathered skirt instead of the one in the pattern)
i've made a few different versions of this guy. i also love it as a dress, with short sleeves or sleeveless, and with or without the collar. oh so many options.

So sweet! I love the collar!
ReplyDeleteSummer walks.. so nice! When I saw the title I thought of Anne and Diana and their rambles in the woods. Every time I read those books I want to take walks like them. :)

ReplyDeleteSO cute! I am so glad you shared this. I have been looking for a non vintage pattern like that for quite some time but I've never looked at any Burda patterns!!! I have piles of fabric waiting to fulfill their destiny.
ReplyDeleteSo many possibilites. I also want to start making alot of high waisted full skirts with a banded waist. So cute with colored tights and flats
What a gorgeous colour you chose! I adore it! Especially with your hair and skin tone! Perfect! ;) I have been loving sewing too! I look forwards to seeing more of your wee creations! :) Have a lovely week pretty lady! :) Zoë x
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I hope you will share more of your sewing projects in the future!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the top! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing the pattern, I've been looking for one that fits the type of dresses I want to sew for myself! I bought it the other day and can't wait to get started. And I look forward to more of your beautiful work (: Your blog has always amazed me. Have a great day hun!
ReplyDeleteOk...so after I saw this top I went and bought the pattern. And i am making it right now out of white crushed velvet :) Question... How did you go about taking the gathers out of the sleeve? Did you fold the pattern to exclude them and cut around it that way? Thanks!
