Lately, I am particularly drawn to garments that have some kind of gathering detail, especially to the neck. I'm not sure why; it isn't always the most flattering. The fabric here is some kind of synthetic crepe I guess. I'm not certain because I bought it in a second hand / vintage store ages ago. I liked the fabric so much that it took me a long time to use it, which seems silly but I'm sure you understand.
This project does make me see why so many people say you should stick to natural fibers, but I do like to buy second hand so can't always be that choosy. Anyhow I love the soft grey and the burgundy leaves.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! That's such a lovely top, you should totally feel super-proud of yourself! I'm in the middle of making a top in synthetic fabric too, in fact it was a hideous blouse that I found on the street but I liked the print. I can't iron it because it began to sizzle when I tried!
I'm sure an email to you is well overdue, please forgive me. Will do so very soon.
Miss you!

P.S Can you believe the word verification thing is asking me to write 'cespit'?!
Beautiful top! (Love the fireplace too!)
Thank you!
Fantastic job!!!
I am just catching up on your recent posts- for some reason you don't seem to come up in my feed and I see you have been busy lately, and have got a new Necchi!!! Looks like a nice one!
Hi EmilyKate! That's funny because I tried to comment on your blog recently and it wouldn't accept my comment, I tried a bunch of times. Lovely to see your bonnie face and bow tie! xx
