@Fajita: that's a shame as it nicely made.

@Francesca is there any chance you could insert the attached pictures into the text? Then I can copy and paste your entry into the voting thread. Otherwise I'd have to host the pictures elsewhere and link them.

Hi Manuela

I've done it! (My little tecchy is away so I had to work it out myself!)

[Manuela]

Thank you @Jane , much appreciated.

A tropical panel print, cotton lawn, plus an old duvet cover.  Changes to pattern- elastic waist instead of drawstring, shortened by 2", all assembly done fast and dirty on the overlocker.
Very wearable and comfy, and a great way to get more-than-a-circle out of a fairly narrow piece of fabric [it's cut in godets and rectangular panels]
I'll be making a few more of these, I like the way it moves, and have had a lot of compliments already.

I'm all done, have to get a black tee shirt and photos taken.  The tee...well it's the only thing that will go with the pants.


Hopefully, I can get my SO to take them Monday.

Today is the last day of sewing, please don't forget to put your pictures up here by June 15th

This is my Style Arc Harmony top. https://www.stylearc.com/shop/pdf-sewing-patterns/harmony-woven-top-pdf/ Fabric is a silky polyester bought from Lili fabrics at Manchester Hobbycraft show. Each sleeve has 4 pieces, 2 of which are semi circle ruffles that need ‘finishing’, time consuming! I used an overlocked edge and turned once option rather than a double turned hem.
 
Changes made were to increase side seams from 3/8” to 5/8”, with hindsight maybe the smaller size would have worked but it’s ages since I sewed a woven top so erred on the side of caution. I shortened length by 1 1/2” which is normal for me.
 
Not sure if I’ll make it again as it’s a fashion thing but nice and summery plus the sleeves are ‘arm friendly’!

[Manuela]

Yay, well done @Helen M
I am really happy to see so many entries. Once all the pictures have been submitted, I open the voting thread

@Helen M is there any chance you could include those pictures into the text. If not I'd have to download them, upload elsewhere in order to post them in the voting thread.

Manuela if someone can tell me how I do it. I don't have Flicker or anything like that and they are just in a folder on my computer.

I tried to 'copy' directly into the post but it wouldn't allow me to 'paste' it. ???

This is the dress I have just finished for my grand-daughter (also shown on my diary thread). I used B3714 and made no alterations, except that I made the sleeveless version and then made a separate bodice, with sleeves and buttoned down the back, that can be worn over the top if the weather is cooler (this is to be worn for a wedding). I hope the pictures come out right - I have no confidence that I can do it every time!  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]    [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]    [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]    [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I think that is what I did I'll try in a new post as I can always delete the original.
