Ever since I
fell in love with Lizzy House’s Pearl Bracelet fabric, I have anxiously awaited
each of her new collections. I was especially excited about Constellations,
since it features fabrics in several shades of blue, a color I can never get
enough of. Then I started to see pictures of Twinkle Twinkle in Natural on the
blogosphere. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be my favorite fabric
out of all the awesome Constellations fabrics! While I look forward to using it
in quilts eventually, I couldn’t wait to make a garment out of it. Since I
already owned the Wiksten tank pattern, when I found myself in possession of a
few free hours, I broke out the pattern, some freezer paper and a few yards of
fabric, and set to work making a Twinkle Twinkle Tank.

Last time,
the instructions for finishing the armholes and neckhole left me baffled and I
ended up winging it. This time, I read through the instructions several times and
studied the accompanying photos intently. All at once, I realized my previous
mistake. I had been trying to bind the garment like a quilt! Once I let go of
that preconception, finishing this tank was a breeze. In fact, I was able to
finish this shirt the same day that I started it! I’ve already set aside fabric
to make another one. Sewing my own clothes is just too much fun.
Very nice you could do this one so quickly! It's very cute!!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun, isn't it? I have been meaning to try that pattern. Your tank (that sounds weird...) is beautiful, and I think you made an awesome fabric choice. You can't go wrong with Lizzy!

ReplyDeleteI love this top! I was thinking of using this fabric for a top too, but I'm too pale. Better find another project for this pretty fabric :).
