I’m on a roll!
April 2, 2007Well, I retraced Neue Mode 23258 in a 34 but decided to keep the upper front at a 36 because I felt that I needed the extra half inch of bust room. It worked out perfectly! I used this beautiful “Monet” knit that I bought from Ann at Gorgeous Things
This was a perfect print for the style because the seaming and details don’t get lost in it. Now that I have the fit just the way I like it I will make one more in a solid - probably with short sleeves - and then move on to The Next Big Thing.
This version looks like a $300 top. You’re definitely back in the groove.
Gigi, I must add this top to my must have patterns. It’s beautiful. I only hope when I make it that it looks as good as yours does.
Glad to see you sewing and blogging again. You have been missed.
Lovely, once again … I can’t wait to see this in a solid. That seaming can be brought out even more with some topstitching in a contrast thread …
Love it! I have been drooling over that fabric myself
Hmm…wonder if she has any more left…..
Ann should give you a commission because I just went over there and bought some!!! LOL
I love this top! It looks like it came from a very “chi chi” boutique!
Awesome top - you are defnitely back in business!
Love both versions of this neue mode pattern.
I like the style of the top. The fabric really does make that top IMO.
[...] sure. I’m stuck on some stuff I saw on the myshape.com site that has inspired me, as well as this top that Gigi Louis made. I’ve never made a Neue Mode pattern before, but that top [...]
Both versions are beautiful Gigi!
Gorgeous. I just started sewing, and would be so happy if I could come out with something like that.
