Velvet Ribbon

Hi fellow sewists, I mentioned in my  Instagram post  two weeks ago that I finished the boucle jacket but I postponed my blog post because I wanted to make a new high neck top to wear with it as the model wearing in the picture below. Both garments are my entry to  #magamsewalong  October and November "Seasonal Stashbuster" hosted by  Sarah Liz .

I didn't wear it yet but I will when the weather getting fresh :) Materials: I used 1.25 m of lace fabic in light blue colour and same colour of thread. Pattern: BurdaStyle Crop Top Sweater 08/2016 #106  size 36. I didn't make any change to the pattern, I used the same length as the original pattern and the result is little bit longer on me than on the model, which I liked :) Also, I used 1.5 cm seam allowance in all edges and 4 cm hem allowances. The process of making this top was enjoyable, except matching the lace lines. I spent one morning matching - pinning and sew them in place :) I used my overlocker machine to sew all the raw edges and sew the neckline using sewing machine. The pattern suggested to hand se...
