The pattern itself was very simple to put together, as all of the SisBoom patterns are. I made my top in a size 2x (thank you thank you Jennifer for making almost all of your patterns in 1-3x along with regular women's sizes!!), but would probably make it in a 1x if I did it again as it's a little looser fitting than I wanted - there's a fair amount of fabric in the back.
I chose to use a different fabric in the Crazy Love line for the collar, and this was the "trickiest" part of the pattern in that since you know it's going to be framing your face, you want your stitches to come out as near-perfecr as possible, and the collar to lie flat and puckerless. I took my time sewing this part, and it paid off as I'm so happy how it turned out!

It looks wonderful!! Thanks for letting us know about the patterns. I am trying to learn more garment sewing and it is nice to know which patterns are helpful and well written.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great top, and perfect for spring.
ReplyDeleteTanesha, I love the look of that top, but I think it would take me-myself a bit to get used to the colors, LOL. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Tanesha! You did such a good job - you may have inspired me!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good on you! What a great top. Btw, 1-3x is regular woman.
ReplyDeleteWonderful sewing,the top looks so nice on you. Fun fabric choice. Can't wait to see what you make next..
ReplyDeleteYour top is beautiful! You did a great job! I've only made clothing for my little girl but I'm working up the courage to make something for myself. Think I'll start with a skirt.
