I can't believe how long it has been since I've posted on here. I moved 2 days after my last entry in January and it's been a little hectic around here since then. The Boyfriend, Pearl, and I moved into a cute 2 bedroom apartment closer to both of our jobs. I have a dedicated sewing room, but it took me 2 months to get my life together and set up the room! One day, when it is cleaner, I'll take some pictures. I haven't sewn all that much, but I have some projects from last fall that I'm going to post. I'm so tired after work and on the weekends I like to spend my time with the Boyfriend because our work schedules are out of sync and I never see him in the evenings when I get home. He keeps encouraging me to start blogging again so here I am.
Okay, so my last sewing related post was about NL 6130. And here's what I made:
I seriously can't remember much about the construction of this top. The fabric is a poly. crepe that was a pain to cut and sew. I'm fairly happy with the fit though. I did some contouring to get a closer fit. The invisible zip was pretty darn easy to insert and the hem took a very long time to do, but I am very pleased with my baby hem.
Not sure if I would make this again, maybe in a ponte knit and I would change the neckline and the peplum style. I did get a few unsolicited compliments at work though. One from my boss who is an expert patternmaker, seamstress, and fit specialist.
In spite of my lack of blogging, thanks to my new followers:

Also, I had my blog anniversary about a month ago. I've been blogging for 3 years. That is a long time!
I'll post a giveaway soon (I promise this time!!!).
You should use a pattern like this again; it really looks good on you. But, yeah, it should definitely be peplum style next time (I don't even know what that means).
ReplyDeletelooks fabulous on you...great look for you. don't ditch the peplum...very flattering.
