I’ve had this fabric in my stash for a fair while now, and originally I’d intended to use it to make leggings or a maxi skirt, buuuut the backing was pretty sheer which I didn’t anticipate (since I bought it online as I almost always do as there aren’t many [clothing] fabric shops here in the UK!). But I figured that it would make a nice airy summery crop top to wear as is or over a cami!
Not sure I’d go out of the house with it just over a bra (tho tbf all the ones I make are FUUULL coverage) but I’m almost always in a cami top so it wouldn’t be a problem to dig one out to layer it with, lol.
I love that the fabric is both grungy and distressed but also a pretty pastel purple as well, I think it’ll go nicely with all my eclectic colourful home-made shorts
The pattern is the Teen Spirit top from George & Ginger Patterns
The double-layer textured lilac jersey was from Minerva Crafts
@bethntim Shhh don’t mention that to hubby, I think he’s choosing to ignore that the house is filling up with both new clothes I’ve made, and even more fabric to make even more new clothes with, rofl!!
@gozer Purple is my fave too ! Tho that said I also loooove teal/turquoise, and mustard, and so many other colours, it’s hard to pick a fave!!
I made a bunch of new pants (in the UK sense, so undies) recently, literally a ton of them, but I have yet more fabric to make yet more pants with, you can never have too many surely lol?!
And I have a cardigan planned, which will be a copy of my favourite cardi that’s worn out, with a lovely lace panel down the long sleeves.
A couple of either kimono or poncho type cover up tops with mesh/crochet fabrics, and actually a ton of chiffons that would make nice ones too!
Got a couple of nice floaty fabrics I got for making into nice wide leg cropped trousers/culottes
Purple sugar skulls cotton that will make more awesome shorts
Aaaand I’ve just bought a romper pattern that I want to make (shorts version) - perfect for quarantine, lol
A tiered skirt with some embroidered fabric
Possibly some empress shorts with this lovely chiffon I have (made some last year for a beer festival but I wasn’t 100% on how they turned out)
I’ve also got a bunch of ridiculously amazeballs fabric that I’m scared to touch so I’m saving for just the right project (Ghibli mashup, Trapdoor, Mr Meseeks, Gnomeville, Sloths, Bee-utiful) but that were the most pricey so I don’t have that much of, so maaaybe some more basic tank tops with shelf bra, or even dresses (I have a few patterns that I bought AGES ago and haven’t tried yet!)
I’ve also got tons of stuff I have planned to make later this year when it gets colder again, rofl!!! I’m so terrible at making decisions, and I always have a to-do list a mile long
