Vogue 1259 - Donna Karan Draped Top
Introduction
Thank you all for the nice comments on Baby V's outfit. I haven't made these sorts of little outfits since my daughter was that little. Since she's 13 now, so that's been a while!
For my next project, I've chosen Vogue 1259, just the top. I liked the draped look and after looking at the pattern pieces thought it would be a good challenge. I have some gold jersey that I got from Fabricmart a while back when it was on sale. It was one of those fabrics that was cheap enough, and I thought the color was going to be a little different and just decided not to send it back. At any rate, if I don't end up liking the top no harm done!
The pieces are certainly interesting and have to be cut single layer; I've already cut out a few in the photo below:
I'll be sure to mark this one properly, as there are a lot of notches, circles and squares that will be needed to make this top correctly. I think I'm going to have to follow the directions, too, which will be a challenge, since I don't always follow the directions!
This should be a fun one!
Parting Shot: Boott Spur. Yep. That's it, and yes there was snow and clouds. Not very exciting, but the snow and ice was. These are the first signs that winter is on the way!

If i lived in a place as cold as NH, I would wear a full-face helmet outdoors in the winter!!!
Great colour!
A suggestion: Melissa at http://www.fehrtrade.com/gallery/508/the-vogue-1259-donna-karan-gathered-skirt-set documented her experience with making this top....matching it all up looks tricky!
Hope this helps :-)
Anxious to see your interpretation of this top. Sounds special.
I hear you may get 9 inches of snow this weekend. Keep that wood stove cooking!
This is one of those patterns I had to get just to see how they did that. I won't be making it up, it's just not a style that's good for me. So far, I think I've only seen one other person tackle this pattern, so I'm very interested in how yours turns out.
Snow & ice. I'm so not ready, even if it is in the mountains and not where I live, yet.
This is indeed a fun and challenging project!
