Finally my little boy recovered from cough and flu, so today I have time to write a post on this blog.
I finished three projects before my holidays but I didn't have time to post them. The summer tank and dress based on free Burdastyle pattern. The pattern is originally for a tank but I think it will be good to make a dress too.
SUMMER TANK
Pattern: free pattern from Burdastyle, Summer Tank Top 05/2013 size 34/36. Beware, the pattern is too big, the size of the armhole is almost on my waist. So, I have to reduced both side of the tank 3". And I also reduced the length of the tank 3.5"
Materials: 1.5 yard of printed rayon from my stash - it's not the most comfortable fabric but the print is beautiful.
This is a very easy and fun project to make. I drew the pattern according to the instructions from Burdastyle, reduced the side and the length of the tank. I sew the tank right side together with 1.5 cm seam allowance. Then sew the drawstring and insert it at the neckline. I used 4 cm for the hem allowance. Done!
I really love this tank, it is very fresh to wear on hot summer day and the drawstring at the neckline is totally cute:)
SUMMER DRESS
Pattern: I used same pattern for the tank and added the length down to the knee. I also made a belt from the same fabric.
Materials: 2 yards of very soft printed cotton from my stash.

JERSEY COWL TOP
Pattern: Burdastyle Jersey Cowl Top 03/2013 size 34 with little adjustment on the waist (my waist is size 36).
Materials: 1.25 yards of jersey in strong pink color, me-made bias tape from the same fabric and same color of thread.
This is another easy, fast and fun project to make, I will definitely make more from the same pattern but different fabric and color.
Happy stash styling!
Beautiful projects Hana! The red cowl top is a great color on you and you know I love a pretty dress...and yours is a pretty one!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comment, Margo! My jersey cowl top is in strong pink color, but it look red in the picture:)
DeleteI love your version of the dress - I have plans to make the top and extend to dress for my DD.
ReplyDeleteThank you, jacquianne! I am looking forward to see your top and dress for your DD.
DeleteAll such pretty little garments again- I like them all, all quite different moods. The dress length for the burda tie top looks lovely - the belt is a good idea or it would be a big tent. I am glad your little boy is better.

ReplyDeleteHi Hana, as usual they're all lovely. The burda top looks like a wardrobe staple for the tropics (I need to download it). And I agree, the pink (looks red in the pics), top is a great colour for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Belinda, thank you so much!
DeleteYes, the burda tank top is perfect for tropics and very easy to sew too:)
I did the top of the armhole BurdaStyle and it was huge also in my ... Love your red top .. It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rosy! I do love the cowl top too so much. Maybe will make another one with little variation.
ReplyDeleteYes, everyone said the same thing about the huge armhole of Burdastyle tank top.
Absolutely beautiful!!!!. Love the ideas and style especially that floral summer tank.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting your adjustments to the summer tank project! I am about to make the tank, and am happy to know how to fix the armholes.
