Vogue 8581
I don't sew many Vogue patterns, although I've managed to collect quite a few (uhmm like 78, but whoz counting). No real reason, but that's already changed,lol. I've been meaning to finish this top for some time, and as I joined Mz.Faye for the, "Spring Month of Tops", I decided to add this top to my completed list. Although I probly wont wear it this spring, it'll be ready for the Fall!

sizes range 8-24, I used the 14, and made view C.

This was a very easy top as stated by Vogue. Very Hippy and goes great with heels and a pair of jeans.
Thanx for visiting!
Seeya!!
Seeya!!
Nice! It would be perfect for spring here, since it doesn't get really that hot most days and it's still raining a lot. Indeed, with a couple of jeans and some great heels I think this would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI made this one up too, but I am still unsure how I feel about it. I made it too big, and even after taking quite a bit out, I'm not sure if it flatters me. The longer sleeves on yours looks great, so I may want to try that variation before I give up on the pattern. Yours just looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good and I like the fabric you've chosen.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Betcha you'll get a lot of wear out of it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I love your fabric and the style as well
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful - loving the color too.
ReplyDeleteI love this top and the fabric's color and texture! I just noticed that I've missed the last several items you've sewn and was so glad to catch up. I love your Jalie jeans and the other tops you've sewn as well. I'll be sure to keep up with you (I'll add you to my page) because I love your style!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog.
ReplyDeleteAll of the outfits you've made are gorgeous. I too have done the Jalie stretch jeans, and LOVE them to the maximum.
I'll be visiting again.
