MOT #11 and IT'S SPIN OFFS...
MOT #11,12 & 13. Sometimes one thing leads to another, and then another...
Faye you really came up with great tops. I am preparing for the next one. I am going to select my patterns and fabrics and make-up muslin to check for fitting problems. This way in April all I have to do is SEWWWWWWWWWW
Last year I made a top on October 30th, and although I hadn't planned it, I didn't stop making tops until November 30th. I needed to add a lot of tops to my fall/winger wardrobe, and I think I made a total of 15 - all knit.
Well those tops did get me through last fall winter. But after careful consideration I had to evaluate continued wearability. Some of them had to be eliminated because fabric choice, shags, stains, unsuitable color choice, or because of the way the fabric felt against my skin.
Anyway, my friend Ebony was amazed at the number of tops I produced last fall and has been strongly suggesting that I make the "Month of Tops" an annual event. I've bee telling her "I don't know about that", but she was adament, and I do find myself needing a number of tops for the season...so why not?
I don't know just how many tops will evolve this month, but I do have some really GORGEOUS knits that are calling out to me "SEW ME UP...NO ME, SEW ME FIRST".
Woven or knit, who doesn't need new tops. Some of my virtual friends shared my feelings...and thus this sew-a-long began.
