After deciding that I want more tops for my wardrobe, I set out making view C of the 1810. I chose a silky polyester type material… I know…all of my current fabrics are some sort of silky polyester! This pattern appealed to me because it’s the style of top (& dress) that I like to wear – not figure hugging but drawn in at the waist.

My last make was the 1589a top with the peep hole back. Even though I have since altered the straps slightly, I really like the fit and style of it.

If you haven’t checked out Pattern Review, you should! I always search patterns on there before sewing, mainly to get recommendations for fabrics and to check for any known fitting issues.

Welcome to Talented Tuesday No. 24!
I’ve had a super busy (+ eventful) week, which has included moving house…which meant that I have had restricted internet access! I didn’t get the chance to do my own post this week so I’ve had to recycle an old one. I hope you have all had a great week and enjoy linking your posts up 🙂
Don’t forget to follow us!

It’s Sunday again and it’s time for 7 photos from my week! Enjoy 🙂
1. I received some goodies in a swap from a Japanese store. I love the little plastic things that keep the bobbins on top of the threads.
