NewLook 6807: Pattern C in Roses

I made a new top for myself! I had the pattern and the lovely roses fabric in my stash for a while, but the inspiration to make it came a few days before the craft show. I just had to wear it on that day and lucky for me, I finished it on time.

The pattern and instructions were very easy to follow, although I made a few adjustments. Firstly, I tried to make the neck to sit a bit higher, as the one on the pattern is a bit low for me. Second, the size I cut out ended up being very loose and long, so I had to take in the side and back seams. I also took in a bit extra at the shoulder seams. For my next top I am definitely cutting out the next size down.

I love the way it turned out. Jersey fabric drapes nicely and doesn’t need ironing. The flowing style of the top is just what I need to conceal my still present post baby belly. I am definitely making another one of these, maybe in a short sleeve version. :)

    Looks great! Those necklines dont suit me unfortunately because I like them.

    Looks fabulous! I look terrible in a scoop neck, but I do like the look of them. (For me it's a lot of V-necks). You should definitley make the short sleeved version :)

    Very nice. Peasant style tops are one of my favourites, flattering no matter how you are looking at the time!
