Button Down Sleeveless Top

Hi there, welcome back and happy weekend 🌺 I finished a button-down top three days ago. I planned to make this for so long and glad I finally did it. I used Ottobre Design Maureen SS 2/2018 pattern size 40 and left-over cotton fabric from my previous garment. The buttons, threads and interfacing were from my stash, so I didn't spend any for this top. The processes were smooth until the collar, I didn't like it, too high for my liking. I removed it and tried again by lowering the neckline by 1.5 cm and making a new collar. I sewed the collar but I didn't like it. It looks weird to me. So, I removed it again and went without the collar. I had to remove the stitching at the back yoke and the front lining. And then pinned and sewed the lining piece around the neckline's right sides together. I turned the lining inside and sewed the rest.  The armholes were finished with a bias tape band from the same fa

Crochet Swimsuit Cover-up Dress


Hi there, I hope you are well.
I finally finished my crochet swimsuit cover-up dress that I started at the beginning of February. I enjoyed the slow process and was happy with how it turned out.
I used 9 skeins of off-white cotton yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook.
For the pattern, I followed a YouTube tutorial from Crochettoz. It's a clear and easy tutorial to follow, thank you so much 😍

Also, I shared my process of making this cover-up on my YouTube channel, click the video below if you want to see it. And please, subscribe to my channel if you like the video and want to see more in the future 😊😍

I took a few photos of the progress and the picture below shows the start of the cover-up dress. I did chain stitch until I reached 60'' and followed with double crochet stitch and then crocheted the patterns.


I mostly crochet at night when I finish all the house chores and sometimes in the afternoon when I'm sitting on the sofa. 
The cover-up needs two pieces and mine was 60'' long x 11'' wide.


And then, I connected them together using a single crochet stitch.

So happy that after two months of working on it, my cover-up is done and I will wear it later for a summer holiday. Maybe, I will make a swimsuit to match it 😁



To avoid the neckline gaping, I crocheted strips 1.5 cm below the shoulder line (on the back neck).


And here is how the cover-up dress looks like when it is flat, looks like a rectangle shape 😊😍

Until next and thank you for stopping by 💗
