Burda 11/2006 #116



Something quick and easy after sewing up my blouse.  This oldie but goodie from a 4 year old Burda Magazine (11/2006) #116. 

Make sure you use a fabric that looks great on the wrong side, too.  The collar rolls so you see the wrong side of the fabric.  I added 3/4" to the bodice, to lower the empire waist seam a bit.  Also, added 2" to the length and 1" to the sleeves. 

Fabric is rayon- lycra knit from Fabric. com

Here is the picture, hubby took it this morning, about the second time ever he has operated my camera.  Twins had basketball practice at 5:45 so they were unavailable during sunlight!

Hubby didn't pay any attention to what the picture looked like, in all 3 my eyes were closed.  I didn't crop my head - the sunrise was so pretty in the background (and my smile actually looked pretty good too)

  8. What a cute top! I was noticing the scenery behind you. Looks like you still have some color on the trees. Most of ours are bare now.
