A few weeks ago I showed y’all the Twister Top I made for Rayna out of a shirt of mine I didn’t wear anymore.  And I mentioned Friday that I was planning my next sewing project.  I was actually planning to make this first, but decided to try the Twister top since I knew it would be a quick project.

What do you think?

Pardon the indoor photo shoot.  I always hope to get better pics of things in natural light, preferably outside with a nice background instead of say…a messy closet. However, such is my life.  LOL  I took these after Jonathan put the kids to bed so it was a one woman show and I had to use my tripod/remote to take them.  Also, I’m a dork and have zero modeling skillz. But who cares, right?  I was trying my best to show y’all the cool sleeves so that’s what’s up with all the weird arm positions {especially photo #2, totally dorkalicious}.

This is the easiest garment I’ve ever made for myself.  It’s one piece and only requires stitching up the side seam and shoulders and hemming the sleeves, neck and bottom.  On jersey fabric it’s pretty painless if you’re sewing with the right needle.  Because I’d never tried a blind hem on my new serger, this took longer than expected, but everything turned out great and it’s something I can actually wear.   Next time I should be able to crank one of these out in about an hour. 

I’m planning to wear this tomorrow night to The Basement with my skinny black pants and boots.

{I’ve got a few more projects to show you soon, I just have to take photos first!  I made another game for the kids out of felt, two tops for Rayna from some of my unworn items and some more Pom Pom clips!  Stay tuned }
