Top - A - Thon So to Speak!

Last week was a very productive week kind of.  I didn't complete my goal of getting 7 garments sewn in 7 days, but I did get some garments completely done.  I have been in a need of adding some simple tops to my wardrobe.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, I do a major closet purge every year this around this time.  So, when I do have many holes to fill and specifically tops.  So I started a 7 day Sew - A - Thon to fill in some gaps in my closet and had some lovely remnants and leftover fabrics that I used to make these two tops:


I used one of my favorite patterns, my TNT, to make this top, New Look 6273:

(Quick Review:  The pattern requires you to cut the back in two pieces and add a button closure.  But Since I used a knit, I just cut on the fold removing 5/8 inch from the fold to get desired look.)



I freehand this top using a T Shirt I already own, and just traced it and gathered the sides to give it a little Shape. 




Happy Sewing!
