I discovered the crafts store Spotlight the last time I went to Singapore and even though their fabrics are seriously expensive I had to buy some, they were so cute! Case in point the adorable nautical themed cotton I used for today's top that cost a good 20 dollars A METER and that, of course, I had to waste by using it for a dress that made me look like a deranged aging little girl.
Fortunately I could save the skirt panels and managed to squeeze a top out of them. The patten is my altered R design from the Sweet Dress Book, I paired the printed fabric with plain white cotton for the yoke:
And I added a mock buttoned tab at the back:
Phew, I'm relieved I didn't completely waste it, I may even be able to make a lil' bag out of some remaining scrap!
Great save. Your top is so cute.

SupprimerI'm so glad you were able to save the fabric! It's too good to go to waste. I love the back with the buttons!
RépondreSupprimerThanks!
SupprimerThis is so cute! I love how you matched this adorable fabric with the white yoke and buttons in the back.
RépondreSupprimerIt is super cute. Nice save on the fabric!

RépondreSupprimerThat is adorable!!!
RépondreSupprimerIt is lovely! Spotlight in Australia has quite cheap fabric. It's a necessary evil.
