What do you get when you combine two onions?
Onion patterns , that is. Well, I think a pretty cute top!
I used the front bodice from Onion 5038 and the rest of the garment is Onion 2017. I eliminated the front pleats from the lower front and now it fits more like a t-shirt. I thought I wanted the tunic look but after trying it on, no, not a good look. The 2017, needs the waistband and tie to complete the look and define my waist. The fabric is from
Needle Nook Fabric and it has been in my house a couple of days.
I tried black buttons but it had to be red, they just pop.
Now, I had quite a bit of white-black polka dot left, a small scrap of black-white polka dot and a scrap of red knit. I used Simplicity 4076 again and did some changes. I was inspired a bit by this
Anthropologie topand I came up with this.
In retrospect, I should have cut the red shorter as in the Anthro picture but I didn't think the look would be the best on me. I do think the top needs something between the red fabric and the polka-dot fabric. I pinned a bit of the black-white polka dot- what do you think?
It was so nice to make 2 quick tops, pretty instant gratification and my closet appreciated it.
Thanks for all the comments for Meredith. She hasn't had a chance to read them yet- track practice and homework are keeping her busy but this weekend I will show her all of them. I can just see the smile on her face!
