Sewing again!

Weel here we go I have just made a new top. It is based on a dress style that was on TV a few nights ago. The ones on there were super expensive though, over $300 I think, terrible. So after looking around I found a pattern and they are super easy to make. It is convertible and can be worn many different ways, as the strap are super long and wide, that is were the styling comes from. The whole thing is made from spandex, which hangs well and stretches.

Hope this works

Yes I know the fabric is super bright, but it was only $2 a meter, and I was only doing a test run. Obviously to make a dress I would have made the drop on the skirt longer. I left the bottom of the skirt in a square style to keep as much length as possible. But looks nice as a top still.

For other ways to tie it look here:
