Summer Sewing pt 1

I've been doing some sewing myself the past week or so. I didn't take in-process pics but here's the finished deal.




This is from a 1975 maternity top pattern, found in my mom's old sewing stuff. It has my grandma's name on it, so I guess one of them made a top for her -- maybe to wear when I was born? I dunno.

I thought it would be okay just as a top. Wrong. I took in about 2 inches in the back to make it just a bit more form fitting and less maternity. It's still flouncy but that's fine. I think the neck in the back looks great!



And here's a pic of me with my stuffed animal Moses. I think there's one of my mom in the similar top with her old cat. Will have to find that...



Now that I've finished this, I'm working on a sexy summer dress. More to come...
