This was definitely a make-it-tonight wear-it-tomorrow project. Sarah loves it! I have already whipped up two more tops in rayon with this pattern which I'll share later.

KwikSew 2866
Have you ever noticed that all the ready-to-wear basic summer tops are pretty much the same pattern? They might be rayon, silk, jersey knit and maybe they have lace inserts, different necklines, etc. but the basic silhouette is the same. I got a good deal on this KwikSew pattern on Ebay last year and just put it away and forgot about it. I got the urge to sew up a few quick tops for summer and decided to give it a try. It's great! If I had showed it to my daughter before sewing up a top for her, she would have probably rolled her eyes because the illustrations on the front are so basic.
I used the medium size with view B neckline and added to the length. I also eliminated the back seam and my daughter can still easily slip it over her head. The fabric is a polyester woven from Hancock Fabrics.
I'm not a big fan of facings on this type of top so I cut a self-fabric bias binding to finish the neckline. I didn't cut off the seamline before adding the binding because she didn't want the neckline to be any larger.

That is such a pretty top-these type of patterns are made for quick and stylish sewing! I have been on a woven tee kick lately and will need to post some of my sewing.
ReplyDeleteWoven tops are my preference for summer. I do hope you show the next two that you've sewn from the pattern. This first one is lovely.
