One piece Retro Top

Print Page

Description

A creation from Sewalong- Ellinor 8516 but I didn't use Ellinor, I used free pattern from Burdamode http://www.burdafashion.com/en/DOWNLOAD/Free/1333669-1413206-1333668.html

Both of them have same eliments, the difference is sleeve.

My inspiration came from... http://www.butterick.com/item/B4790.htm

Materials

Stretch cotton, funny color and print but it was so inexpensive, good for experiment.

stoked about flickr up for swap!

I. LOVE. IT! I have that Butterick pattern but have not tried it out yet! I love your mash-up of the two patterns! Brilliant!

I have that pattern too, but I haven't found the right fabric yet. I love your variation!

making too many at ones

Looks great! I ones saw a dress that looked a bit similar so I decided to make a top like it, but I didn't have a pattern so it's a top I'm still working on because I can't make it fit well. Now that I have seen yours, gives me the courage to go on with mine ;)

way too busy for loads of sewing

That's great again! Looks to me like you took elements from both patterns but made your very own thing. I really like how it turned out.

Cool. I love the white piping and belt buckle. These details make your top very original.

sewing summer clothes.

Thank you so much! It looks very odd and I don't know if I will wear it but it is fun to look at.

I fixed my serger!!!!

You should definitely try wearing it. It's so cute and appropriate for spring and summer! The color is refreshing! My only concern would be making sure it stayed fastened properly since it is all one piece. Is there anything but the front buckle holding it together?

sewing summer clothes.

It has two strings from front & sides to tie on the back. I need to sew invisible snaps under the arms too. I went to the shops and looked for orange color tops, surprisely I found quite a fews, give be a little bit confident.
