She received her package so I can’t show you what I sent to her. Her????

Yes, I am talking about her:

Nais Crea (36)

She wanted a top like this one here with bright colors like blue, orange pink and green…

Colors in bits by bits… here and there…  Not easy… but all is in the details…

And I sew a matching necklace to go with the top …

I haven’t posted for the past few weeks but I was waiting for a sunny day to take pictures.

I finally found one, as well as an amazing top model to pose for me…

So, first, what’s best than an Obi belt to emphasize our wasp waist?

 And to give your body an amazing shape…

I tell you, this belt his magic!

Pattern : Home made (Tutorial Here) – Fabric: Black and grey coton from Spotlight

 And to go with the beld, I sewed a matching top.

I really like the shape given by the pattern (initially, a dress, but I shortered it), especially the wide sleeves.

I will definitely use the pattern again, for a dress or a jacket.

It is a French proverb for the month of May (we have a proverb for every month in France) which I could translate by :” In May, do whatever you want to do!”

And it is exactly what I am doing, to follow this advice given by Un matin

Again, I used the same pattern  I used to sew this top and this top, but this time, for a black top (What an innovation!!!)

(Nop, I am not yet bored to sew the same top ever and ever again!)

 This time, I used a very thin cotton fabrics, a bit harder to sew. 

 

I used a green ribbon for the armhole and, that’s about all!

 

Fabric: Light black cotton and green and gray ribbon from Spotlight

My little tip: Use a very thin needle to sew this type of fabric (7/10) otherwise, it can quickly become a bloodshed…(Yes, of course, it happened to me!)

Same pattern as the others top.

I obviously really like this pattern, it is easy to sew, and the shape is really confortable (perfect to hide my “little” belly, which never NERVER want to go away, despide  all my effort) 

I slightly modified the pattern to obtain a wrapover top. As you can see the result, it doesn’t look  as it should, simply because I cut a piece in the wrong side, and I didn’t have enought fabrics to cut it again…

Nervermind… One day…

On its way to New Caledonia…

A other tube top for my friend Christine in New Caledonia. Perfect to sunbath under the coconut trees, on a white sand beach, in font of the lagoon…

 

I hope she will burn ! like it…

I may not have a coconut tree in my flat (ME!), but I have a dying lemon tree (yes, on the bottom left corner, it’s him).

 

Sometime in women’s belly…

There is a little baby who is growing up.

And it is not easy to find a nice /cheap/ unique top to wear

(What? Not true! What about the pregnancy clothes section @ the Warehouse?)

 

So, it is now sewed. It is a large top Adeline can use up to her ninth month of pregnancy. Handy!!

Next order, a baby changing bag… Pfff, I tell you, it is hard work to have friends having baby.

Tip Top!
