Number 31 on my 35 things to do before I turn 35 was to sew something for myself. I follow this blogger – Made by Rae and she recently released her new pattern – the Beatrix. I thought it looked cute, and she was doing a sew-along, so I thought I’d play along, so I made a Beatrix top for me.
It was really fun and easy to sew. I picked up some fabric and just got started. The directions were great, and I really appreciated Rae’s extra tips on the sew-along.
I always get compliments when I wear this top, and the best part is that it’s crazy comfortable. I want to make more, I just need to get some fabric that would work.
It’s so weird to model for the camera. I obviously took advantage of being at the art museum to model in the lovely courtyard. I do wish I had a good photo of the back of the shirt. I love the buttons that go down the back.
Cute! I want me one of these. Love buttons down the back!
Let’s go fabric shopping!
