Outside pocket...
Inside pocket...still using that left over seersucker lol.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

Since I'm not very familiar with french seams I pulled out my copy of Cool Couture by Kenneth D. King to walk me through the process lol.
I love the way it turned out!
The neck...
Neck binding... I glanced at the guide sheet long enough to see that they wanted me to just encase the neckline inside the bias tape and sew it down....umm NO. That would look odd, so I did it my way and I'm pleased!
I used my treasured rolled hem foot for the hems lol. LOVE that thing!!
I LOVED working with this fabric! It wasn't bad AT ALL. Making those jeans REALLY gave me some confidence because I just jumped right in with this top! LOL I feel like I can make anything now lol.
Alrighty yall, that's all I have!
Have a great Monday!
Toodles!
I love the pants they look cute. Um but can you slow down I am trying to make the pencil skirt from a few posts back.

Posted by: jillian | August 24, 2009 at 08:49 AM
And now I have to buy more patterns. Sigh. The trousers -- fantastic and that shirt is too much. I actually turned up my nose at that pattern -- how stupid is that? Now I sent it made up (fabric is killer) and I can see how wonderful it is. I may have to start checking in with you to see what patterns you're thinking of buying so I don't miss out. I could stop copying you, but I don't think so. LOL!

Love, love, love it! Gurl, you are killin' the denim! Keep the inspiration coming ;-)

That outfit is beautiful! You look great!

I love the pants and love the idea of using seersucker for the pockets. Hey, there is nothing wrong with using up leftover fabric. The tunic top is fierce and love the pattern on the fabric. Are you planning to make the pants in a seersucker fabric because I think it would great too.

Hey Adrienne
I am loving the whole outfit.I have not yet done ANY type of pants or jeans. My question is how did you do the neck of the top(B5355)..what is "Your way"?? I think what you did gives a neater look.
