1 Pattern, 7 Bloggers - The Reveal!

The time has come for the big reveal! I must admit I am more than a little excited to see what the other girls have come up with.  So without further ado here is my creation....


So clearly it isn't your standard macaron dress.  I decided to go with something different and try to make it into a top.  I have been wanting a peplum top for a while so I am pretty stoked with the outcome of this project.


The fabric was an impulse purchase from Spotlight one day.  I went in for a meter of ribbon and walked out with a couple of meters of this fabric as well.  I mean, come on, who can resist bulldogs! It is a simple printed cotton poplin. The black is some leftover black cotton from my stash.


To make the peplum I drafted a simple half circle skirt.  Once I had the majority of the bodice made I measured the bottom of the waistband and used this as my measurement to draft my half circle skirt.  Then all I had to do was add it to the bottom of the waistband.


For a little extra detail I also added some black piping to the waistband.  This was my first time doing piping and I was super nervous.  I pretty much just winged it and thankfully it turned out ok.  The only other addition I made was to add a simple pleat into the top of each sleeve rather than gathering them into the bodice.
