(Edited to include a new photo.)
I finished the top last night and sewed on the buttons this morning, after a 20-minute dig through my button stash to find suitable candidates. My review is here, and photos are below.
I really like this top and the Onion pattern. None of the other Onion patterns are calling to me yet and I have a lot of other garments in the queue, but based on my experience with this one, I definitely recommend Onion. I purchased mine at Shop Onion. The delivery from Denmark was very fast, the price and shipping reasonable, and a downloadable PDF English translation comes with the purchase. (If you're going to order, please note that Maria, the Shop Onion website owner, is on vacation until 29 October so shipping is delayed until her return.)
Cute pattern and love that fabric!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love your fabric choices. And, no, I don't think you're using too much brown (though in my case, I'd be saying that about blue).
ReplyDeleteThis is a great pattern, isn't it? I love your version, the fabric is gorgeous. Tell your hubby great job on building the table - can't wait to see pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhen I become independently wealthy - ok, get a bit more disposable income - I'm going to get a standalone coverstitch machine like you have so I can make cool tops like you do. I love the added effect and professional look that those stitches give a garment. Another great top, Debbie.
ReplyDeleteGreat new top! Love the pattern and fabric! It turned out really nice!
ReplyDeleteLove the top. The buttons add something different. And lucky you, you didn't need to sell your first born to get the shelves!
ReplyDeleteGreat top. I always love to read your blog to see what you have made. You are a great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to Shop Onion. I've added to my sewing sites.
Love love love it,Debs!!
ReplyDeleteAnother great top, Debbie! Looks beautiful on you.
ReplyDeletevery flattering style for you. the gathers at the shoulder are a great idea. i might try to morph my basic ottobre tee into something like this.

I really like this pattern, and the style flatters you. Wherever do you find that gorgeous fabric?
ReplyDeleteOh Yeah, I was recently "tagged" and instructed to tag 7 others. So.... you've been tagged.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Very purty.
ReplyDeleteI'm with claire on the disposable income. I think I'll shop for a disposable rich husband. :D
Debbie, that top is wonderful. I don't want to order it from anyone except you because you've already some of my alterations!

I can't believe I can't even spell my own name. How sad.
