I have never been good at sewing clothes for myself, I tend to not follow a pattern properly, not buy enough fabric, don't iron as I sew and force fabric where it shouldn't be forced. I haven't attempted sewing myself anything for years until today. Inspired by
top notch and some
Salme patterns Kirsty had tried I thought I'd give it a go myself. I bought the
Kimono Top pattern and some cheap polka dot fabric to make it up and see if my sewing had improved.
The photo is less than flattering but I'm quite pleased with how the top turned out, all the pieces seemed to fit! It needs a bit of tweaking at the side to give it a little more shape and less of a front verandah look for me, I think some softer fabric would help that. The pattern was easy to follow, it was a beginner pattern and only had about four pieces. I think my attempt was a tiny sewing success.
