I have made this next pattern over and over! Simplicity 3634 shown here in a stripe stretch knit from I can't remember where!
I normally don't wear horizontal stripes but I don't mind with this fabric.
And a stem of cherry blossoms on the side waist.. with some more little crystals. Really dresses up this top!
This below is Vogue2977. This was the first time I made this and it sewed up super quick. I used a crinkle black stretch knit. To dress it up I used Gold YLI candlelight decorative thread in my cover stitch machine set on a 2 thread narrow hem around the neckline, bottom hem and sleeve hems. I also made the matching skirt that was in this pattern and used the same method for trimming it... more about the skirt on my blog after the holiday. Love the top and the skirt with it!
Here's another one I've sewn before. Mccall5708. I used a lightweight sweater knit from Walmart... its really pretty and has metallic threads throughout it! Pretty fancy stuff for walmart! and for $2 a yard!
Love this pattern, sews up fast! and cute!
Thanks Faye for hosting this sew along! Its really made a dent in my stash and now I have much needed new fall/winter tops!
Ok... off to finish up the other 2 skirts I'm making to go with these new tops!!
These are all super cute!
