I still sew, you know! - Sie näht doch, noch!

I had an unexpected couple of hours on hand and decided that a fast knit top was the way to go. I sewed up some stash fabric from years ago. The pattern is from Ottobre Woman 2/2009; actually a frankenpattern of shirt no. 5 (bodice) and dress no. 14 (flutter sleeves, a bit hard to see in my photos).

Ich hatte ein paar Stunden Zeit und reichlich aufgesparten Stoff. Damit auch etwas fertig wird, habe ich mich für ein schnelles Jersey-Oberteil entschieden. Das Schnittmuster findet Ihr in Ottobre Woman 2/2009, ich habe Vorder- und Rückenteil vom Shirt Nr. 5 mit den Flatterärmeln von Kleid Nr. 14 kombiniert.

Since this went well (and fast!) I made it up again in another stash fabric, without sleeves and without a back facing, I just used a self-binding. I also scooped out the armscye a bit on the arm/shoulder side; I could have made it a bit smaller on the bottom, maybe next time.

Da das gut geklappt hat, habe ich schnell noch einen weiteren Stoff aus dem Vorrat aufgebraucht und eine ärmellose Version gemacht. Ich habe hier den hinteren Beleg weggelassen und einfach mit einem Jerseystreifen eingefasst. Den Armausschnitt habe ich etwas weiter ausgeschnitten, dass die Schulter frei ist. Ich hätte ihn unten etwas verkleinern können; nächstes Mal!


Do I need a sway back adjustment? Muss ich für Hohlkreuz ändern?

What do you sew when there isn't enough time in the day?

Was näht Ihr, wenn wenig Zeit ist?

    So pretty! I love seeing how one pattern looks so different. I enjoy going to my regular tee pattern that fits really great and coming up with new embellishments and necklines. :-)

    I love your tops! They both look very pretty on you. When there's not much time in the day, I am try to do one small sewing task, even if that means only pressing a seam open! Eventually, the top that I'm making will be done; it is just taking a long time.

    It's great to see you making something for yourself! Both tops are nice and perfect for the warm weather.

    Beide Tops sehen super aus, besonders der print vom ersten. Ich mag diese Art von Ausschnitt auch gerade sehr.

    Those are super tops--both of them. I like the print top styled with the skirt and jacket. Very chic!

    I love a cowl neck. Both of these look great!

    Both of these turned out really lovely! I especially like the idea of making it sleeveless. I need to remember I have this pattern (:

    Very cute! And using up stash fabric is always a victory. I have no time to sew lately and am trying to make myself just do 10 minutes of a task. I hate doing it that way but at least I move the ball forward a tiny bit.
