The top is almost complete


  • Side seams sewn-yes
  • back opening area stitched-yes
  • neckline complete-no
I have decided to use fold over elastic that is a bronze/gold color identical to the color on the lace knit.  I debated over this for sometime now. I decided that the gold trim at neckline works with gold   in the scallop edge of the top and sleeves.  Reading the tutorial on http://www.saf-t-pockets.com/ I am hoping that this will attach as easily as it looks on the site.  I have to do this tonight and then sew hook and eye.

Friday will be hectic running around with last minute things to do before leaving on Saturday.  I did find me two pairs of white pants-one a stretch denim and one a cotton- to wear with this top.  Photos to follow when complete.

Later.

    I didn't know about "Sew much talent" I think I might join.
