Yesterday I shared with you my Boxy Polka Dot Top that I sewed up Saturday. Today I’ve got another sewing FO!
When I first started bombarding you with finished sewing projects they were all Built By Wendy patterns. I revisited a few of those patterns on Saturday, starting with this Built by Wendy Top. I made a gingham version of this top a few months ago, but it’s so cute I had to come back to the pattern.
A Floral Take Two
I found this chiffon-like material in the bargain room of my fabric store in Michigan with another Built by Wendy top in mind. Light and airy and FLORAL like whoa, I grabbed a yarn (EDIT: YARD! My fingers betray my preference for yarn!) and had to make it happen.
Hello FLATTERING!
This design is so ridiculously flattering. Clearly it has changed me into a totally different girl! I don’t even look like myself in this picture.
Show OFF That Elastic, Girl
I made a couple mods: No elastic in the sleeves and a longer length of elastic in the neckline for a little more neck room. It’s the perfect length, the perfect size, the perfect color. I’m in love.
Even Cute from the Back!
This shirt’s magical flattering powers even extend to my bottom. These are the four best pictures of me ever taken.
Pattern: Built By Wendy Mini Dress, Pattern C
Fabric: Bargain Fake Chaffon
Paired With: Ann Taylor Loft Green Jeans
oh my lord that top is too cute for words!

“…I grabbed a yarn and had to make it happen…”
It seems that even when you are sewing, you have knitting on the brain! Very Cute
I LOVE everything about your top! It’s very cute and flattering! It looks perfectly suited to the weather we’ve been having lately!

Right?! I type the word yarn A LOT! Glad you think it’s endearing and not just really stupid!
