Black Top - completed!

I have started to make a black top from left fabric which was used for summer pants.

The pattern is from 'Simple Modern Sewing' (Shufu to siesta sha)

and model..(not me, of course!)

To be honest, I was not fancy for this top. The reason is... here!

The pattern of shoulder part is quite tight and not covered that part.
If you are 20 age, you don't need to worry about showing this part however when getting mature age, this part will be the hint of to identify the person's age... (really)
Also if you have a little skinny body, this part should be hide or shows all otherwise your breast part shows very poor..

In this time, I haven't got enough fabric and this pattern was the one, could be spent all rest of fabric!

What I did was.... trying to cover that killer shoulder parts using frills.

so... I have cut frill part.

Cut fabric from little by little and attached together.

Then trying to find the best way to attach the frills on the top.

oh, looks nice.. okay, let's put all..

Lovely.. But! something not quite right.. and also it was a little difficult to put these frills to the perfect position.

Hmmmm....

How about this...

Oh! much better! This is the one!
The frills must covered the shoulder pats and it does.

And then, done it! I have finished this in this morning.

Details...

So happy!
(please don't say it looks like Hawaiian dress style..)

Have a nice day!

Black Top

I have one meter black cotton fabric which was left when I made black cotton pants before.
That black pants.... I started to sew 10 years ago.. and I just left behind without finishing.
I have found this a month ago and I did finished(finally 10 years later!).

This fabric, is good for summer but only 1 meter left..

Now I have found the solution to spend all fabric to make a tops!

on going.. image..

As not enough fabric, I'm using black binding from shop - not made from the fabric.

I have a little greedy project with this top.

Let's see..

Have a nice evening,
