Due to a busy week/weekend, I didn’t get any sewing done. BUT I did sew this a few weeks back, so I have something to show today.
I wasn’t thrilled with how it turned out, but it is mostly due to the fabric. It is a “bunchy” fabric, so it tends to add weight on a person. Add to the fact that I gained a few pounds with all the take out eating and beer drinking over the weekend…well, it could fit a bit better.
This is just a long tank that is fully lined in a cream lycra/polyester blend. I had a brain fart when I was sewing it up, so I had to cut the back up the middle. Making things fully lined is an art and a science…and apparently requires a fully awake mind.
I must have needed more coffee.
I actually did sew a little bit last week, but that isn’t something to show. One of our friends needed a pocket in his scuba diving harness. He of course needed it that day because he was leaving on a trip the next day. It wasn’t too tough, so I got it done and now he owes me. 😉
I’m hoping to be able to work on a tutorial this weekend for a faux wrap top for little girls. Wish me luck in actually getting something done.
I will need it. 🙂
I think the top is very flattering. It looks comfy too. My sewing machine is feeling a bit neglected. I just can’t seem to find any motivation to sew right now.
How lovely! I think it looks like a perfect fit — and I agree with Jen, it looks super comfy!
My brain is exploding trying to imagine why you had to cut the back up the middle. I think its flattering and appropriate. Good job.
