What I did with an hour of free time...

I found myself with a little time before I had to go to work and there was an NCIS marathon on USA channel...what's a girl to do?  The serger was already threaded with black thread, so I pulled out one of my top-a-palooza tops and gave it a go.  It is Burda World of Fashion top #129 from the April 2008 issue (technical drawing here). All that is left is the hems, but I must say this top is very well drafted, even though I did have to trim a couple inches off the hips (that is a treat!!!) It sewed up fast and quick and is very flattering.  It has the usual Burda low neckline, but the way the collar band detail lies it is not too revealing and is actually very slimming.  I definitely will make this again! Tomorrow I plan to do some thrift shopping with a friend...hope we find all kinds of treasures!!!
