I'm not gunna lie.
ReplyDeleteThis scares the crap outta me. I have never successfully made a top for myself.
I'm gunna do it! But it might be a disater!
Just warning you!
I think you will do great. That is the beauty of the peasant top. It is super forgiving. And there are no zippers, buttons, etc... I think you will be surprised at how easy it actually is.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time in my life when I made absolutely everything that I wore, but it has been AGES since I made any clothes for myself...this might just be the push that I need... BUT first I have to make my bag!!! smiles!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited. Next big problem...what fabric to choose.
