That top is beautiful on you! I love the little sleeve adaptation. Enjoy your holiday! I think it's wonderful that you and your Dad have this tradition. Can't believe it's been a year. Wow.

[@StitchyBee]

[@nataliew9174]

It looks absolutely beautiful on you and I love what you did with the sleeves. 🙂. Enjoy your visit with your dad!

[@StitchyBee]

Natalie W thank you Natalie 🌷

[@tagm56]

I also love this pattern. I have made two of them now. The first one with the sleeves, it's so comfy! The second one I left the sleeves off entirely. It works well. I just turned the underarm part of the bodice in 5/8th inch and hemmed it. Then when you attach the frill there is a portion that is not connected to the bodice, over your shoulder. Best of luck with your woven version!

[@mellie4174]

hi cheryl, the top is beautiful! i saw your idea for putting the elastic through, and I always learned to do it with a large safety pin. You know like the ones that you use on cloth baby diapers back in the day. That way it can't poke through your fabric and it is large enough you can really latch on to it and move it well through the fabric. you should try it! so much easier :)

[@StitchyBee]

Mellie thanks Mellie, aww I remember my pink safety pin from when I was a baby. Great tip, thanks 🌷

[@mellie4174]

yw! has worked for me since i started sewing at 10. ps if you put the needle through the elstic twice so that it is laid out allong the needle it elimiantes twisting in the elastic :)

[@myralorraine]

[@robincrean]

I've made this since mid 70's, I think it's a Simplicity pattern. Mimi G has a quick pattern for it also, with longer flounder. Light weight woven are all I ever made these out of (especially gauze) never put sleeves on them either. If you worry about arm hole stretching, use seam tape. The flouce I've always played with length, but cut from straight cut lengths or played with bias (so strips are design choice, some you don't have to hem-depending on fabric). Easy peasy. ☺

[@StitchyBee]

robin crean thank you Robin 🌷

[@joannasfeelingcrafty]

Love this top! Well done on your choice of fabric.

[@StitchyBee]

[@loriannpayne4483]

What a lovely top you've made. Thank you for sharing it!

[@StitchyBee]

Loriann Payne thank you Loriann 🌷

[@tandjwoods2137]

Love it on you, Cheryl, and that's the perfect fabric for it too. I'm really not a frilly-flouncy kinda person (and I don't wear strapless bras) so I had thought this pattern was out for me, but yours has got me just a little bit tempted! Jo xx

[@StitchyBee]

T and J Woods thanks Jo, I really enjoyed wearing it on holiday 👍🏻💖

[@louiselill1528]

Definitely right choice in the fabric it's gorgeous

[@StitchyBee]

louise lill thank you Louise 🌷

[@annieboulton5759]

Very pretty. I do like the fabric xx

[@StitchyBee]

Ann Boulton thanks Ann 🌷

[@PsychicKathleen]

Beautiful top Cheryl! Love it in that viscose knit! When you mentioned about the sleeves I agreed that long sleeves would be odd with off the shoulder UNTIL I started imagining it in lace - a stretch lace on the arms and flounce and a more solid body which you could even turn into a dress. Would be an easy yet fancy make if you needed a quick party dress :)

[@StitchyBee]

Kathleen Meadows thank you Kathleen, great idea 🌷🐝

[@sarahosmari7870]

Hi Cheryl that top looks great on you beautifully made. I love the fabric the colour is gorgeous on you. Havd a great holiday with your father. I will order some of that beautiful fabric before it goes ☺☺

[@StitchyBee]

sarah osmari thank you Sarah 🌷

[@terilooney]

Enjoy your vacay with your dad. I will certainly give this a go!

[@StitchyBee]

Teri Looney thanks Teri 🌷

[@marilynsheppard8321]

Lovely top. I use a bodkin where you use a darning needle, it has a blunt end.

[@StitchyBee]

Marilyn Sheppard thanks Marilyn, great idea, I keep meaning to buy one. Love the word bodkin 😊

[@raquelseydewitz203]

Love the top!

[@StitchyBee]

Raquel Seydewitz thank you Raquel 🌷

[@juliadroy1179]

Great top it looks lovely

[@StitchyBee]

thanks Julia.x

[@littlevicky9861]

looks lovely.... maybe having that small sleeve helps with it riding up off the shoulders ?Ive made a few and they all ride up !

[@StitchyBee]

petite pipsy, thank you, I think you may be right 👍🏻🌷

[@maureencullen1008]

You can buy bodkins for threading elastic etc.It the same as a needle but it has a metal slider bar to close it ,it's really brilliant to thread anything.You can buy them off amazon

[@maggiemarlow6486]

Maureen Cullen I agree - so much easier then safety pins and no danger of poking it through the fabric. A really worthwhile gadget!

[@StitchyBee]

Thank you Maureen 🌷

[@cecilianorris4449]

I really love your makes. I’m actually in the process of making a few Sew Over It patterns, including some from the E-Book Capsule Wardrobe, and the tips in your last few videos have been very helpful. Thank you so much! 😊

[@StitchyBee]

Cecilia Norris thank you Cecilia 🌷🐝

[@seamswithoutstress4648]

This fabric is sooo shiny and pretty! I have a similar one, but I thought it would be more suitable for a dress, turns out I'm wrong. By the way, I'm glad I'm not the only one using a darning needle instead of a safety pin, it's kind of quicker and easier to thread through.

[@beverlylee6357]

Oh my gosh that fabric is gorgeous! Looks like you know longer sell it, do you know what it's called or what it is made out of? The drape is perfect

[@StayStitching]

I really love that top! I almost bought it when it came out in the PDF club; now I may have to pay full price for it!

[@physioontheriver7325]

You have sadly run out of the lady McElroy Lavender jersey. Can you suggest an alternative for Lucia? Can u remind me what sort of jersey it is?

[@StitchyBee]

Physio On The River So sorry, it went fast. It’s a viscose jersey (95% viscose, 5% spandex) I have a couple on the site. 🌷

[@DestinysPookie]

You are so beautiful and so is the top.

[@StitchyBee]
