Found a very interesting lame-knit; it appears to be silver lame' printed on navy blue knit. I saw it and immediately thought of a cowl-neck shell top.So I brought it home, pulled out the above-mentioned pattern and, per my last iteration, copied the front pattern piece and proceeded to whack and spread and pivot my way to a full bust adjustment. It was kinda needed on the earlier tops, but this knit did not have as much stretch as the earlier ones so I knew it would be necessary on this.
I loved the flow and sparkle of the fabric until...some point in the process I looked at it puddled up on the sewing table and saw...a pan of Jiffy -pop popcorn...
Sigh.
My elegant sparkly top became a kitschy wear-with-tongue-in-cheek kinda garment.
Oh, well.I wore it anyway.
And will probably wear it again.
'Cause it is kinda fun...
I think it's very elegant, and perfectly fitted as well! Enjoy wearing it and forget about Jiffy popcorn. (I don't know where THAT came from - lol!)
ReplyDeletehmmm - interesting about the jiffy pop, and I know how once you get something in your head it just won't go away. The top looks fabulous! Enjoy wearing it. g
