Project MyWay #29–Silk Wrap Top
I made this top to wear to a piano concert at an outdoor pavilion. I wanted to look nice, but not over the top because it was outside. I wore this top with very dark wash jeans, high heeled sandals and what else? my DKNY cozy!
I had an idea for the top in my head and I started with Butterick 5245 because of the fullness in the shoulders and the wrapped top. I just lengthened the bodice and after the top was constructed, I pleated the right front and added the ties.
I found the greatest method for turning fabric tubes! I’ll never fret over it again, it’s one of those, “why didn’t I think of that” things. Here’s the link–Handmade Things,Thank you Jules!
Now, for some fall clothes…

This reminds me of all the times my mom made clothes for us! Keep it up! You’re a natural!

Lovely top. Very antuiqy looking and elegant. Plum is a nice colour choice for an older chick.
