Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Here is my Turtle neck batwing top. The idea for this top came about after Lydia (Polychromatin) and I were inspired by a batwinged top we had seen another member (tmac).
The neckline is from the Anda pattern and the Bishop sleeves are adapted from a vintage dress pattern (the yellow sleeves in the 3rd pic are literally just sleeves I cut off from a Primark top).
You can also wear the top both ways – great for getting dressed in the winter time now the mornings are dark!

It was only a few days ago when I thought about making a shirt like this: Wide tight-fitting waist part and cuffs, loose sleeves and upper part of the shirt :) But I haven’t had any time to sew that yet, but this looks cool so maybe I will soon!

Cool, thanks Lydia (i’m sure yours will be great! everything you make is always so neat!), I have updated the description, and thank you all for the comments again!bx

Ahh, you make blush, because mine does never look half as good as yours :D I love how yours turned out! The wide cuffs were definitely a good idea! Looks great on you! Btw: I saved the creation under my favorites: The original top is from tmac.

I love it – I love it – I love it! I have something similar (the only thing is that I bought it – didn’t attempt sewing it). Excellent job!

lol, i’m not that fast! I made a number of things in one go and then my computer broke so I couldn’t take proper pics and upload them- here i’m at work, and there’s an in-built camera in the monitor!

Hey you are fast! Your shirt looks great on you.
Oct 10, 2008, 06.46 AMby ghainskom
Wow! I’m impressed that you did this out of the Anda pattern.
