Next Friday I will be able to post this finished object (FO) but I did get to work on it when we had to drive into town to run errands.
We took a break and had a very leisurely lunch together! (@ Corky Bells on the St Johns River)
When we got home I took a rest and then tackled this idea! I bought a sweater and then the fabric to match. I decided to make a top instead of the dress-long story but the fabric just was too much of everything negative on me for a dress! Since I have sewn for a million years but never made a neckline like this I was fascinated to see how it was done!
It was a very easy and straight forward project! Which is a wonderful thing...
I tried it on with my dressy pants and it is just what I envisioned......after the fact! The sweater and the neckline fight terribly so the sweater will have to find a new mate!
But it is a finished object for this Friday!
A blog friend, Cheryl, is hosting this FO Friday-you can link here to see her FO for today!
