I love the neckline of this, and your little tweakings to get use up the fabric have made a brilliant top.

I tried making the same pattern a couple months ago because I loved the design, but even though I pre-shrunk my fabric it shrunk more when I washed it...suffice it to say, your version is infinitely more successful than mine ;) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854483657569403570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-86913763506960727232015-06-01T11:07:04.814+08:002015-06-01T11:07:04.814+08:00I just did a 3-day block workshop with Anita at St...I just did a 3-day block workshop with Anita at Studio Faro. She is fabulous and I've signed up for next month's Pattern making course. Main motivation is to make that Vivienne Westwood style dress she has up there. Definitely recommend a class with Anita to anyone who's Sydney based (or happy to travel). It's not a sewing class - it's all about pattern making and manipulation. Then you head home and make your toiles and come back for a fitting. Very interesting. And I love the stripe work on this top. I've been lurking for a while and have now decided to actually start commenting on people's blogs!JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142373630651802990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-90235495278292365992015-05-31T18:39:45.540+08:002015-05-31T18:39:45.540+08:00Thanks for the mention and the link.
