This week I have decided to participate in a sew-along! The basic premise is that someone in blog land posts a "how to" all week long, and those of us at home follow along, at the end of the week, you have a finished product! The two lovely ladies of Pickup Some Creativity and Gwenny Penny are hosting this sew-along and they are using the brand new Lisette pattern from Simplicity.
I originally saw these new patterns a few months ago, and originally couldn't find them in the stores locally, but when I did find them (for $1.99) I snatched three of them up! I have been saying for a while that I wanted to make myself some tops, so now is the time! I will be making a muslin first (which I never do) but, I really don't want to mess up the fabric I bought (above) and I really want this thing to fit! I have a bunch of fabric that I bought a while back from the $1 a yard section at Walmart and am going to cut into it first before using the Lisette Fabric I purchases specifically for this shirt. I would much rather mess up $2 worth of fabric rather than $12 worth of fabric.
I will technically be making View A, but lengthening it a bit to a tunic instead of a short shirt. I also want the short sleeves of View A, it is to hot in South Louisiana for those longer sleeves! This sew-along also corresponds to the Spring Top Sew-Along being hosted by Made by RAE. I have until May 6th to get this baby finished and photographed, so I better get to work!
