Anyway, now that I've escaped the rain and floods of the SE and arrived home safely to my usual dose of tropical rain and localised flooding, I can start thinking about my sewing plans for 2011. Dresses! Dresses! Dresses! That's my plan!
Simplicity 2599
This is my third version of Simplicity 2599. I actually sewed this top last year but ran out of time to blog about before I left for holidays. It was sewed using a Liberty Print with a peacock feather design.
The changes:
1. I used bias binding on the armholes rather than making a facing.
2. I used french seams on the sideseams due to the lightness of the fabric.
The problems:
1. I need to cut the armholes in at the back. They're too wide and therefore make my already wide shoulders look even wider. This makes for a very unflattering backview, me thinks.
2. I'm still getting a lot of slack pooling around the CB at the neckline. This seems to be a problem that occurs with every top/dress I make. I must find out how to alleviate this problem. Suggestions welcome.
The flower was made using a mixture of green silk chiffon, silk dupion and poplin.
Ok, must dash. My oldest child started prep today so I must be on time to pick her up. I can't believe she is already in school.

Love your top. Its so hot in Sydney right now I could use one in my wardrobe. My DD is starting university - it feels like yesterday that I walked into the gates for her first day of school.
ReplyDeleteYour top is so pretty. It also looks beautifully cool to wear.
