But as of 10 minutes ago, I had a complete top.
It was actually done about an hour ago but I kept looking at it, thinking it needed *something.* So I cut a strip, gathered it, and pinned it around the neckband to see if I liked it. I did, so I stitched it down. Raw edges, 5 minutes, done.
My white capris are fresh out of the dryer and waiting. I have a number of errands to run tomorrow and it will be nice to wear something new while I'm out and about.
I like the ruffle detail, it's pretty. Do you happen to remember where you bought the green knit you used? I'm always looking for unique knits.
ReplyDeleteHi Jules, The fabric is from Fabric.com. As of tonight, they still have 40+ yards remaining.
ReplyDeleteLove the ruffle treatment. It is all in the details.
ReplyDeleteNice. The ruffle is a great touch!
ReplyDeletePretty fabric and the ruffle is perfect. Great top for white capris.
ReplyDeleteCute!! Love the ruffle and that is a very fun print.
ReplyDeleteGreat top! It will look awesome with white pants.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog, and apparel sewing. What kind of knit fabric is the shirt made of? I've been looking at knits on the web and there's so many types I think I need a class on it! (I too shop at Fabric.com) thanks for your time.
ReplyDeleteSewLindAnn - The fabric is a poly jersey.
ReplyDeleteYour top is so pretty-bet you look nice and summery with it and the white capris.
ReplyDeleteSince I have been staying at my daughter's a lot with dsl and have also put Hughes in at home I am really enjoying your new blog format and older posts like the wedding dress that made me tear up.Amazing that you went for one final fitting and TaDa. We see you got good genes for your fitting skills.
Congrats on your son's graduation and also on the other's military service.I know you are very proud. mssewcrazy
Very nice! I love the ruffle detail. And I especially love the green and white print.
ReplyDeleteI like the added ruffle. It changes it up. Cute.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to forgive me, in my broswer page it reads: This is what my top looked like and the first pic. I looked at the top and mumbled mmm.. that's an interesting collar on that nude color top. That's what happens when one hasn't had coffee...lol
ReplyDeleteLovely knit top and white capris is the perfect match for it.
Oh that's pretty! The ruffled edge is perfect.

ReplyDeleteGood detail! It's always good to make yourself happy with new clothes. I'm getting very happy this summer, while I'm in the mood.
ReplyDeleteOk I must be tired because I could NOT find the place to comment. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteAll that lying around summering I've been doing. ;)
ADORABLE top. Is this a sunshine? Ok, did I mention I"m tired? But I really want that top. I'm off to fabric.com to see if Jules bought all 40 yards yet.
ps...ruffles=love
I love this top. Love the ruffle. In fact I love it so much I brazenly am going to copy and bought the fabric today.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll make the HP Sunshine top again.
Love this top Debbie!

Really cute top. I love the ruffle detail. Ruffles are so "in" these days, so your top looks super fashionable.
