Okay, now for today's garment, I've tried a wrapover top from the November issue of BWOF. I'm sewing compulsively these days so I think I'm probably going to end up making any Burda projects that catch my attention^^. For this top I used some cotton slightly blended with polyester, I love this sage green colour -the French name is "tilleul" which sounds quite poetic- alas this fabric is difficult to iron as you'll see from the pictures. I made my usual 12 size and changed a few details: I didn't add the ties at the hips but decided to close the top with a hidden button and a snap and I simply finished the sleeves with some bias instead of the required cuffs. I also made a mistake when I cut the front pieces so I had to add an extra seam but it looks okay! I felt like wearing the top for my New Year's Eve party but it's definitely too hot for these long sleeves so I'll keep it for the cooler months.
Of course I had to make a matching bow hair-tie!
See you soon with more tops!
What a pretty, banded wrap blouse! Looks fantastic!
RépondreSupprimerCecili! Your work is stunning! I like the details of the top. Also I love the french word,"tilleul". In Japanese, I think it's called Wakabairo means young leaf color.
RépondreSupprimerYour color pick is always awesome:)
