So, I cobbled together the pieces and kind of winged it and came up with this top. It’s pretty obvious I just dug stuff out of my stash. I used the narrow double-fold bias tape for the neck and armholes, and I used some readymade piping on the bodice. The top is a bit cutesy for a middle-aged woman like me, but I don’t care. Just wait until I’m 80. I will dress even crazier.
ohh! those mad pattern making skillz you’ve acquired are SO apparent! Nice work! There should be a noun for us middle age women of the crazy dressing, don’t you think?
Very cute. I really need to look into making more of my own clothing. While I love knitting it up, it is definitely a very long term solution to a small wardrobe.
i think it is just perfect!!!!!
just what all the “middle aged” women are wearing here!!!!
Shazaa! I like this purple person. I have not seen her before. This is a good bit of patternmaking, sister!
Well, you look splendid. More crazy: I am wearing my daughters’ tie-dyed jeans right now and they won’t even look at me…
