Back view:
Side. The patterns almost match perfectly. Where the match starts to not match is where the pattern curves. But my arm will cover that anyway. I love all the designs this print makes when sewn together. It's like a kaleidescope in fabric.
Close-up of the neckline. I purposely folded the binding so the fuchsia stripe would not show. Fuchsia is not one of my best colors so I didn't want to frame my face with it.
I can't wait to go somewhere tomorrow so I can wear it. ;-)
I bought 4 yds of this print, because I wasn't sure how wide the fabric was between the contrast bands and borders and my luck would be that it would sell out if I bought too little. Turns out I used less than one yard plus some of the border for this top and the fabric has been restocked.
I'm thinking I'll make a skirt to wear with the top as a 2-piece dress. I did that with another print and an Onion top and I wear them a lot together. Very comfortable, and different from my usual capris and tees summer uniform.
Debbie, that is just fabulous. I have seen some of the other creations and you ladies amaze me. I think you should make a flickr group or some other place, where you would put all of the creations from this fabric. It would be fun to see it in one place as inspiration.

ReplyDeleteI just love this fabric. I have seen so many things made up from it. I just saw a tankini that Summerset made for her vacation. I too am loving this Jalie top now that I got the fit right.
ReplyDeleteWow when you rev your mojo it really revs up! I love this top and you're right, it's like playing with a kalediscope.
