The Mercer Top - Sewing and the City




A fun new top for me, you know how I like my tops.  This one is such a stylish top and I had fun adding a bit of embellishment.


Cynthia of Sewing and the City reached out to me for her Partner program and I agreed, this pattern was gifted to me. Sewing and the City's states Our design mission is to create sewing patterns that have fashion and style - but are still classic wardrobe additions that you’ll wear for years!




The Mercer Top is an edgy and easy-to-sew blouse that will give your wardrobe basics an instant style upgrade with the confidence boosting power shoulder.  The trend of 2021 is the shoulder and the Mercer really shows off the power shoulder, I love this feature.



The Mercer top was so fun to make, the instructions were easy to follow and the top comes together so perfectly.  I made a size 10 with no changes.  I cut it out in a single layer to match the stripes but I made one mistake.  My thought was to cut the flange on the bias for a bit of interest.  At the last minute, I changed my mind.  I should of match the notches of the flange to the body, but in the end I don't think it is too noticeable.



My fabric is from the Selvage Yard of Style Maker Fabrics  but last summer purchase.  I loved this linen blend but thought it needed something, so I went with the only color of rick-rack I had, red!  It was the perfect contrast to the blue and white stripes.  this photo shows how it isn't matched the best but overall I don't feel like it is that noticeable.




I love how Cynthia designed the armhole and the flange, great coverage and easy way to sew.



There is also a long sleeve option, which means this is going to be on my fall/winter sewing plans.



Take a look at this pattern and the other patterns at Sewing and the City.  Cynthia also has a Facebook called Sewing (Slow) Fashion with Christine Lindebak

  2. CAN I RECOVER BACK MY LOST FUNDS FROM A SCAMMER?
    How to recover your money from fake brokers, fake bitcoin investment platforms, forex schemes, binary, false investments proposals.
    I lost my hard earned money on a fake website. Claiming high return on investment after a monetary space of two days. I invested in their website. After which I couldn't gain any access to my capital and profits after 48 hours, I asked why I could not receive my money, then i was told to make an additional deposit of $26,000 for a dumb reason I couldn't remember. That was when I knew there was something wrong. I am a policeman with two beautiful daughters, lost my wife few years ago, which I promised myself I was going to do all I could to take care of my kids after the demise of my wife. But falling for such scam for acquisitive reason and puting my children's future at risk was quite unwelcoming. I went broke afterwards. During the course of trying to redeem myself after few months of getting scammed, i met with a referral on reddit who navigated me to a hacker on the internet. I patiently took some time to comprehend the core activities of this profound hackers. The Globalkos is a vulnerability coordination agency that performs a hack penetration guage to provides wealth recovery services for individuals and companies who have lost money through fraudulent online platforms. This organization was able to help me recover my lost bitcoins. I am truly pleased with the works of this hackers. If you really need to recover back your lost funds, contact theglobalkos@gmail.com or fundsrecovery.teams@gmail.com.
    However, You can stay away from false businesses online surely to be highly oned firm by making enquiries for their firm reference number (FRN) and contact details and barter their calls on the switchboard number and also never make use of the link in a website or an email from the firm propitiating you for an investment.

  3. My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
