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)...
Love your top Sue. I think you need to share SB's Steam a Seam tip. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely 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.
ReplyDeleteThat top is very chic! You should enjoy wearing it.
ReplyDeleteYour top looks tons better than the photo on the pattern. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the top!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great top! Can't wait to see the finished wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteSue that top is amazing! I've just bought the same pattern - hope mine turns out as lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely top!
ReplyDeleteLove the top - LOVE the parting shot! Brought to mind the great line from Ghostbusters - "Universal Armageddon!Dogs and cats, sleeping together!"

Oh, I really like this top! Looks like two pieces, but isn't. The skirt is great, too.
ReplyDeleteHow is it that pets find every warm and cozy thing and then make themselves at home?!? They're too cute, though.
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!
