I have had this cream eyelet fabric (originally a duvet cover) in my stash for a couple of years. My father got it for me at a vintage store in Rockaway beach, Oregon. I don't know how old it is, but it is in pristine shape. The entire piece was well cared for, no stains or sun damage at all.
So I finally got up my courage, and sewed it up into the top I have been imagining for it, using my TnT pttern, McCall's 6035. I am SO in love with the finished top! the fit is perfect, the shape, the sleeves, everything!
Although this isn't officially the key piece for my "mini-wardrobe", I know it wil be something I contiue to build around. I have so many ideas now, pants mostly, to go with the top!
I love having my mojo back,and feeling in the groove again. For now, I need to take a break for sewing form me, and make a few long sleeved knit tops for Liz for fall/winter. I have some knit remnants I have been saving from my own projects, and once I get all 3 knit tops for her finished, I'll post pics of them. Nothing too exciting, I plan for them to be functional, but still cute, of course. :) And then her halloween costume, of course!
Coming soon, the wardrobe composite. I thin I'll get 8 looks out of all this...we'll see how the photo shot goes with James. :D Wish me luck in getting him to be patient enough for all the clothing changes needed for it!
