Mini Wardrobe - Vogue 2980 top

I have finished two items out of the four for the mini wardrobe contest. One is reviewed and photographed. The camera battery died before I could get the photos of the second item.

So my review of the Sandra Betzina top is here. I won't repeat all the details here but the summary is that I love the top and SB's tips on using Steam a Seam lite 2 really help to make great twin-needled hems!



Without any further chat - the top modelled by Diana...

Here the arm is pinned out of the way so you can see the pleats in the 'bolero'.

And a sneak peek of the skirt with the Hot patterns skirt which will be photographed and reviewed next.

I will be putting up photos of the outfits on me when I get all the items made.

And now onto gratuitous photos of my pets - my two animals found the sleeping bag I had washed and left on the futon so it would be out of the way until I got the bag washed (I didn't think anyone used this area at the moment)...

  2. Lovely ensemble. I've heard a lot about steam a seam, but have yet to try it. I normally use Dritz double sided clear adhesive tape.

  8. Oh, I really like this top! Looks like two pieces, but isn't. The skirt is great, too.

    How is it that pets find every warm and cozy thing and then make themselves at home?!? They're too cute, though.

  9. Oh, wow, I really love this top! I have always hemmed and hawed about picking up this pattern, but your shirt is fantastic. You are making me buy more patterns!
