First, let me say thanks for the positive comments and emails on the lime gauze top. I received some good ideas and will revisit the top soon. Hopefully, I can turn it into something I like.
I'm leaving my house at 6:00 am tomorrow to fly to Orlando with my daughter for a cheerleading competition. And then on Monday I will fly from Orlando to Denver for a 3-day conference. I travel a lot so packing isn't usually that big of a deal but a multi-city multi-purpose trip requires some creative packing to avoid two suitcases. Then there are all the arrangements I need to make regarding my son, the dogs, the house, etc. But instead of focusing on that mundane stuff, I decided to make a new top for my trip. Simplicity 3624 is now MY NEW FAVORITE PATTERN!! Love this one! So quick and cute, I think! Perfect for dinner in Orlando or cocktail hour in Denver. Dontcha think?
I cut it out and started sewing it last night and finished it up tonight after work. Probably took two hours including cutting. I made View C although a bit shorter. I will definitely be making this one again. In fact, I am going to turn View B into a dress.
BTW, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The cheerleader daughter is at a concert tonight. And she hasn't started to pack either. I suspect we'll both sleep on the plane tomorrow!
Good Lord! I go away for a weekend and you've sewn a new wardrobe! Awesome! Even the green top, which I think will look faboo when you get a little more sun.
ReplyDeleteLove the new top, you will look so chic at dinner, lol
ReplyDeletei like it. But, please don't let the word get out to the non sewing world that tops can me made in a matter of hours! We'll be overwhelmed with requests for chic and easy tops!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! We have something in common: cheerleader daughters. They're a unique breed, right?
