After seeing this gorgeous shirt in the Spring Top Sewalong flickr group I remembered that I currently own a Vogue pattern that is somewhat similar to the Jamie dress that inspired the awesome woman who made that top. And then I got to thinking that perhaps, just perhaps, I could shorten the Vogue dress into a shirt too (because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?). And so I'm beginning my next sewing project by folding the tissue pattern in all sorts of very un-scientific ways (like "eh, this looks about right"). This oughta turn out well...
Oooh, can't wait to see how this turns out! I loved that shirt too, and the dress.
ReplyDeleteI was a bit miffed on your behalf that you didn't make it into the finals on the Spring Top thing :( But anyway you did get a lovely top and more inspiration to do more selfish pretty sewing! Maybe you will have enough for another mother/daughter set?
ReplyDeletei am so excited to see your top! i loved that one!
