Like many bloggers I HATE having my own photo taken - and yet we don't hold back complaining about how impossible our own kids can be to photograph - ohhh well, today there was no way around it.....I needed to go in front of that camera. This top is sewed for me AND I already tried to photograph it on a hanger...nope not really working, argh! ....But I survived....it did not even hurt (that much).

Here is a close up of the collar. The fabric is a lovely soft cotton sweatshirt fleece and I am pretty sure I got the last yard at The Fabric Fairy. Darn it, I would have loved a dress in this!
If you want a tip to make sure the collar does not bend out in the back you should also check the post about my sister's dress out. The photos are even from when I was sewing this one as I am sure you will recognize.

Oh, and the twin needle worked like a charm in this thick fabric. Totally totally perfect actually. YES!
That's such a pretty collar. It lifts the whole garment. Great to see a photo of you, Mie.
ReplyDeleteLove your blouse.. The collar is so cute.. I agree... I hate taking photos of myself..
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing.
SQUEEEEEE! I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteCute top, Mie! And good for you to get in front of the camera! :)

It's so good to see you make something for yourself Mie! Your top is funky cool and would look great with some jeans and heels. I'm right there with you because I can never make the same thing twice either, and have to change something up...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this is way too cute! I'd totally confuse it for a Betsey Johnson piece instead of a remixed skirt!
ReplyDeleteFound you via Financial Friday Blog Hop!
Hi Mie, I've featured your peplum sweatshirt today... Threading Your Way ~ Features
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Love the print with the peplum.
ReplyDeleteYour top looks great. I'm not a big fan of having my picture taken either, but I'm finding the more I do it the more comfortable I become.
ReplyDeleteThe collar is beautiful - love this top (and your blog)!
ReplyDeleteI sewed a peplum top for this challenge also. I had never tried this trend, and I think I like it now!
ReplyDeleteOoh, neat fabric! This looks cozy AND tailored!
