Ewwww sorry guys, I had no idea that I scanned this print with such poor quality. Just ignore all the nasty grain and sharpening and be happy that I uploaded something. :)
Shot and developed by me.
Hahahaha this is ridiculous, but it was explored.
Image from my files. Taken @ Butterfly World
Coconut Creek, Florida, USA
I used the beautiful textures of French Kiss Textures and one layer of a great texture from Kim Klassen.
I took this photo a long time ago with my first crappy camera. Surprisingly enough, I've loved this image throughout the years.

Project Details
Pattern: Simplicity 2938, View B
Fabric: Stretch Charmeuse
Notions: 12" invisible zipper; grosgrain ribbon
If you are in need a cute, trendy top that's really easy to make, this is the one. When I initially selected the pattern, I didn't have a fabric in mind. I just knew that I wanted it to be this fantastic color! I was prepared to take my pattern to the register in Hancock and then leave and saw this beautiful charmeuse... and it had stretch to boot! I added 2" to the length. This was my first time working with a stretch charmeuse... it was um, er um... interesting to work with. Notice that the bodice is constructed with princess seams. Right at the bust, the directions stated that ease needed to be removed. This caused the fabric to pucker. I had to repeat the process a couple of times to produce a smooth seam. Also, this is NOT the easiest fabric to press, but I made it work with steam and a pressing cloth.
Instead of using the fabric tie, I used grosgrain ribbon. I wanted a look similar to the Tory Burch which appears to have the ties coming from darts or princess seams (I can't tell which). Placed mine in the side seams... just thought it would look better on me. The instructions suggested a lapped zipper but I used an invisible one instead. Overall, this is a great little top that can be whipped up in a couple of hours!
