Next Project - Burda Style Pj's

This is my next project and challenge. So far, I've done only tops and blouses

This time I'll do a top and shorts.

The model is at Burda Style site, here, for a free download.

This is the model.





And these are the fabrics that I'm going to use. As I don't have too much of the stripes fabric, I'll do the shorts with it and the top with the english embroidery fabric, and somehow I will mix both fabrics in the model.(maybe the straps or the neckline part).



Let's see how it goes. I hope I finish it, as I'm going on vacations to the Algarve next week.

Top 130 - Finished!

I have finished and I'm soooo happy with the final result!

I followed the indications that Tany sent me. Thank you Tany!

I had all pieces cut, but the lack of time stop me form continue it. Today we were supposed to go to the beach, but it was cloudy, so we satayed at home. I once again took time time while my son was taking the nap and finished the top.

While I was doing, I was seeing that things were actually going well. My husband also helped me, as it was he who woke up the little one and gave the milk, in order that I could finished it today.

I think that the hardest part was the stitching the straps at the back, and making the knots simetrical. The rest was basically easy. I'm willing to do another one for me with another fabric.

As I mentioned previously, this top is for my twin sister. I hope she like's it as much I did the final result.
For now, I'll post photos with me on it, but later I'll post some photos of my sister with the top.
