Water Drops Top
Hello! It's been a bit quiet here the past couple of weeks. It's been a busy summer/fall for me and I haven't finished many projects lately. But! There're some sewing/knitting projects for fall which I've been planning in my head that I'd love to start soon.
What I'm sharing today is something I finished making back in August.
I love simple and comfy pull-over tops, something I can throw it on and be all ready to go out when I don't need to dress up.
I made this top (photo above) in 2011, not long after I started sewing clothing. It's made with double gauze with lots of gathers around the neck and has raglan sleeves. It's such an easy thing to wear and great to pair with jeans, I still wear this piece a lot. So I wanted to recreate something similar.
I used a cotton lawn fabric this time, this lawn is really light and soft. The colour and the print is so summery!
The pattern is from a Japanese sewing magazine called "female", an issue published in 2010.
Changes I made this time are: lengthened the hems, and added a bow tie. To make the tie, I referred to this top pattern.
This is how the V-shape neck opening looks like.
The side view. I love high and low hems!
I thought that I made the neck opening too wide to my liking, but looking at the photo it looks ok. It actually makes it look very summery so I guess that's not a bad thing. This top is light weight and flowy, great to wear in a hot weather!
