I finished the top. I think that it’s OK, but I’m just not loving it. I prefer to were things that are not so low cut. I didn’t realize that this would be quite as low as it is. Also, since my upper measurements fit in with the size 16, that’s what I made, but I certainly could have gone down to the 14. But, ‘live and learn’ as they say. The material is cotton voile and the lining polyester. I’ve always avoided sheer or really light-weight fabrics in the past, but this was easy to work with. It’s not slippery which made it east to handle. I do like the ‘floaty-ness’ of the fabric.
Not sure what my next project will be. I found a pair of jeans that I had cut out about a year and a half ago – LOL. They should (hopefully) still fit, so maybe I’ll finally put those together.
Hi Denise,
I didn't know you sewed. I like the top! I sew on occasion, but so infrequently, that I forget what stuff means in the direction. Selvage? What's that again. I've made costumes for the boys, pajama bottoms, flannel robes and quilts.
You can check out my blog. I just started blogging too. Isn't it fun?
Anyway, see you later.
