My 2 hour top
« on: June 07, 2018, 09:15:05 AM »
I bought the orange and white stripe top for Lilya when I was shopping, and when I came to need a top to go with the Burda skirt, I decided to have a go at a 'rub off' (hope that's what they call it).

It took a little more than 2hrs, maybe 21/2, but that didn't sound as snappy.  It was such an easy make!

I cut the front out with a gap for the insert, and the back is just a straight strip, gathered with elastic.  The insert was a very small piece of a very small remnant piece which I lined with the cotton lawn. Gathered the front edge, added the insert.  Job done.  The rest was very straightforward, just seams, o/locked edges and turned up on the machine.

Well pleased.

Now to get the phone to talk to the PC, to upload the pics - it may take some time!

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.
