The Stripe Top - Part Two

So Far, So Good


The top is partially complete, and it looks like it will turn out pretty close to the original.  I didn't need to use the instructions that much, since I've made these patterns before and I didn't make any major structural changes.  As you can see from the photo above, I still need some sleeves before stitching the side seams.  I want to get those sleeves on first and then I can finalize the placement of the waist twist pieces.  After that, it is just hems and I'm done. 

I should be able to show you this one tomorrow!

Parting Shot:  New T-shirt.  Since she was home from school today, my daughter finished up a t-shirt she was working on.  She used the new silk screen that I made of her seahorse to make the central image and then added some hotfix rhinestones for an eye and bubbles.

When it comes to artistic talent in your family, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I think her Tshirt is awesome.

This is a great top...love how you merged the two patterns together to end up with this. And what a great way for your daughter to spend the day...cute top!

Your top looks great. Just like the RTW. Great idea to merge the two patterns.
I love your daughter's t-shirt. She looks very happy and proud.
