My New Top

I made it! The top I said I wanted to make in my last post. I actually made it in less than 15 minutes! It didn't turn out quite how I wanted it, I cut it a little too much so it is a snug fit...But I really like it and the satisfaction I get knowing I made my very own top is so rewarding :) So here it is:

Yeah you can tell its just a bit sung but I love the stripes and colors. I do want to make more of them, it was so fast and easy. This material, for a yard, was $6- so it is really just about what you would spend on a shirt in the store maybe a little cheaper. But its not a run-of-the-mill top, so you know for a fact that no one will be wearing the same thing as you, which I love! Until I make some other tops I'll leave you with just a couple more pictures...

Hope you enjoy making your top as much as I did...I cannot wait to make more! :)

New Sewing Project...

I came across a post on --->Make It Lovely with this cute maxi dress... I ♥ the colors in this pattern!

Jessica referred to Hungry Hippie (I know how cute of a name is that) where she got the idea to make this absolutely cute dress. Natalie from Hungry Hippie had posted a "Poppy Top" (You know I love the name of it!) tute that I am going to try out, its actually in the link just above, if you wanna check it out and if not here is a picture of the top...But you should check out the tute too. (haha I worte: *tute too*)

I really really really like this it can be casual and dressy! I got some material to try it out on...

I love the stripes and the colors and its jersey knit! I just hope I can get it to look right when I'm done with it. I am super excited! Hopefully I'll have it done in a day or two so keep an eye out for the finished product...And be sure to check out Make It Lovely and Hungry Hippie they are great blogs!
