I decided to wear this top I questioned in an earlier post. It's not too bad and I do like how it looks as a top (minus the obvious mistakes). I figured probably (hopefully) only sewers would notice mistakes.
Made with cotton fabric. A cheap bolt of fabric to try things out on. McCall's pattern.
I think it looks good with this brown skirt. Close up to show the color better.
I only heard about this just a few days ago, or a week ago (really need to stay up to date on the blogs I follow). This is a personal sewing challenge, but could be a personal Me Made It challenge, so knit or crochet count. Some are wearing a different item every day that they made. Some are wearing and making items. Some are refashioning clothing items to make them like to wear them. Its pretty much a personal challenge, but some thing wearable.
I almost always wear a skirt I made on weekdays to work. I have some nice store bought ones I'll wear until they wear out, though.
Today I'm wearing a blue top I sewed and a skirt I made. The top was easy, 2 pieces and no set in sleeves. Not a perfect finish, but not bad. Too short because of the material I had, so I am wearing a store bought white shirt under it.
I wear the PJs I made. I have some pants I've made that I've worn on weekends. So I'm getting close to a wardrobe I've made myself.
Below are 4 tops I tried to make this month. All turned out wrong. The 3 that are blue, pink and green were made from the same pattern with alterations to try to make it fit. Didn't work.
Should I just live with the fact that I can't sew tops? These were labeled easy and were. But I couldn't get them.
Blogger app changed the photo sequence. Sorry.
Close ups to show details and colors, not necessarily mistakes.
Made from some yarn I found at a dollar store.
It had thick and thin sections.
Used a size J hook.
First row SC every row after DC. 10 stitches.
Another Christmas gift completed.
