You know those times when you make something and it has some teeny-tiny thing wrong with it and everytime you wear it you spend the whole time looking at that thing until in your mind it becomes some glaring mistake that you're convinced that everyone else can see? (Please tell, me I'm not the only one who obsesses over these things...).
It ain't perfect. But let's face it, neither am I.
Pattern: Tiny Pocket Tank by Grainline Studios
Size: 8 with 1/2 inch taken up in the shoulders
Fabric: Robert Kuafman's London Calling Sorbet
I love the pleats and I love the fabric so everything is just peachy! All we now need is some Sunshine! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCute! I think with this top, a wee bit small up top is better than the alternative, as I have a similar one that gapes a bit too much. Glad you can see past your little mistakes... Just think of them as little details that give your handmade top character. :) it looks great!
ReplyDeletei totally love it also. i think i am going to buy the wiksten tank pattern! i have the tova but i think i really need the tank! oh heavens, i just checked this pattern and it is only $4.50!!! sold! xo
ReplyDeletesuper cute! i love the fabric you chose!
ReplyDeleteSweet! I tell you what you did get perfect - the print placement. So symmetrical!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! i love the little pleats! i'm right there with you on adult sewing, though. I'm ultracritical of every mistake i make, whereas i'll buy the cheapest, misaligned H&M or Old Navy clothes and not even notice. So weird.
ReplyDeleteit looks great on you! and that fabric is so soft, i love it. gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhew, glad you battled your demons and got this one done, it looks lovely :o)
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI am also one of those that obsesses... But I don't think it's possible to make something without at least ONE mistake! ;)
It looks soft and comfortable and lovely! I find I tend to obsess less and less the more I wear an item, hopefully that will be your experience too. It looks great! I completely relate to Kristin - I hold my sewing to a much higher standard than RTW clothing, but that's just silly.
ReplyDeleteWhen I knot or sew I obsess over my moderate to large mistakes. So if yours are tiny, you're doing pretty well.
ReplyDeleteNice tank, pretty mama!
XOXOXO

ReplyDeleteyou're not the only one who obsesses over those things
