Hi
and welcome to my first blog!! I am participating in the Everything Your Mama Made (EYMM)
Think Fall Blog Tour, featuring the Off the Shoulder Top & Tunic. Use the coupon code "falliscoming" for a 25% discount on all sizes and bundle (linked at bottom).
I
jumped at the opportunity to be a part of this tour because a few weeks ago I
made my first EYMM top – the Kymy’s Dolman Top & Tunic and found it to be
extremely easy to follow the instructions and the pictures were fantastic,
making it a great beginner’s pattern!
And to top it off, without sounding conceited it looked gorgeous on
me. I had already purchased the Off the
Shoulder Top & Tunic, so this was the perfect time to make it.
So,
I crossed 3 sizes (yay me!!), but as the Large fit for the middle ground for me,
therefore I decided do it. I picked 2
stretch knit fabrics for mine, as I like something a bit of difference at the
moment, and I also wanted to quirk it up a little.
Now,
there were a couple of adjustments I had to make because I am a smaller size
and a bit of a short-ass (5’5”), I took about ½” out of the arms due to the
skinny arms I have and I made it top size (which fits me like a tunic size).
As
you can see, I wanted to tie the cowl in with the rest of the top, so I took 5”
off the top and then added 10” (folded in half = 5”) of the cowl fabric to the bottom
and wham-bam I had the same size, just with a strip of the cream/brown fabric
for both the bottom and the cowl.
I
live in the tropics and this top is perfect for when the weather is cooler than
normal, but not cold enough for a jumper.
I
highly recommend EYMM patterns as they give a professional look for an
affordable price, they are so great to follow with wonderful instructions and
pictures!
Thanks
for reading, I hope you enjoyed and I can’t wait to put up some more reviews in
the near future!
Happy
Sewing All!!!
