When I saw this article I knew I picked the right color for my top!
Pattern Description: Loose-fitting top has elasticized neck and shoulders. A: Drawstring waist, elasticized sleeve. B: Elasticized waist.
I made view B.
Pattern Sizing: XS-M I made the medium.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? SUPER easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved that they included the directions for french seams. If you don't know how to do them, this is a great project to learn!
Fabric Used: Modal Jesery
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I decided not to add the elastic at the waist. I'm going to belt it anyway and I just figured IMO that was a wasted step lol.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I MIGHT make this again in black. I don't have many black tops and this might be a good one.
Conclusion: Really really simple pattern that looks great IMO.
Here are some additional pictures:
I wanted to take a pic that was similar to the pattern envelope. I'll be wearing this top to church so it won't be off my shoulders. Now when I wear it somewhere else I WILL wear it like this lol.
This clutch is Vogue 8527 but I'll talk about that in another post.
I thought these earrings and ring were cute :)
For the love of all things, I fell in love with these shoes. I was torn between getting the red or the gold, I think the gold was a superb choice lol. You can't go wrong with a metallic!
Great choice of color and top. Love the look. I may have togo grab this one. Glad to see you're back.

Great top and outfit! Really like the off the shoulders look.

I love the sunny yellow color you chose, and with the white skirt and gold shoes...awesome. I also like the fact that the top looks great whether it's over the shoulders or off. PS: Thanks for including a link, in your last post, for where we can donate to help Alabama recover.

Okay, first, how does one manage to pull off looking adorable and sexy at the same time? Second, you've now helped me seal the deal. I keep looking at that pattern but have passed it up during the last two $3.99 Vogue sales because it's so close to Burda 7549 which I have and have yet to make but . . . your yellow has me sold! Great job as always.

Beautiful color and gorgeous you!
Where do you get most of your fabrics? I'm trying to find some pink modal jersey myself but when I search fabric.com and a few other sites I find nothing :(
Posted by: Chrissy | May 10, 2011 at 06:30 PM
Next time Vogue release new patterns can you just tell me which ones you are buying, I may as well just get them all at the same time, you always make me see something I missed before. Great pattern, colour and top!
