The last month has been absolutely crazy due to work however I have been able to get 10 - 15 minutes most mornings in my sewing room and this is the result.
Then when I decided to do an "Evening Collection" for my SWAP this fabric just had to have its day.
I took me a while to work out what design I wanted to use and it was during one of my Pinterest sessions I found this wonderful top by Lover and realised that the lines were very much the same as my TNT blouse pattern.
Luckily the lace has a two way pattern, so I could use the scallop edge effectively for all the pieces.
Again there is not much to tell on this blouse, except I have used French Seams, a purchased satin bias tape for the neckline, Hong Kong finish for the armholes using sun silky, with an invisible zipper in the left hand side seam.
And here it is:
 |
| Nearly the same pose! |
 |
| Satin bias tape binding on the neckline |
 |
| Satin bias tape handstitched to the wrong side and french seams |
 |
| Hong Kong finish on invisible zip and armholes |
This is my 6th piece for SWAP, I really need to find some more time to sew, especially as the Trench has only been cut out!

Sharon your top looks wonderful - it's a great use of the lace. Pinterest can be so helpful:D
Sharon this is gorgeous. Colour is perfect. I'd really like to sew lace but I'm too cowardly. I'm way behind in my SWAP sewing, too for similar reasons.
The photos don't do the lace justice. It is totally exquisite IRL. I know the rules said 'no camisole', don't know if I could comply. You will be a knockout in the complete evening outfit.
Sharon, this is a gorgeous top. I love the colour and the lace.
Beautiful!
Yeah, understand the spam problem.
I love seeing that lace made up Sharon. You have the fit worked out perfectly and the seaming is perfect. Beautiful top, well done.
OMG!!! Are you drop dead sexy or what!!!!! Fabulous top :)
That's just gorgeous!
Very swish...the lace works well with jeans ...and, I'm sure, an elegant evening skirt?? Long, velvet? Hmmm...
Your new lace top looks beautiful and impeccably made. Would you show a close up of the neck line and hong kong finished armholes ???
Love the lace top - very classic and elegant. Great use of the lace. And I am suitably impressed by anyone who can sew before or after work - amazing.
Your lace top is fabulus! I usually try to sleep as long as possible in the morning and sew for a few minutes at night.
That is just lovely, and as has been said, works as well with jeans as it will with the "evening" side of your SWAP. Great work for doing it in little chunks of time too!
I had to do the same thing on my blog, for some reason there were suddenly tons of spam messages
Just beautiful!

Your top is lovely and the lace so pretty! I had to change my blog too - life is too short to be dealing with the spam.

Lovely! It looks perfectly made. That lace is gorgeous
It's lovely your lace top. :-)
Absolutely beautiful Sharon! It looks just as gorgeous with your jeans, as I am sure it will for evening wear too. :)
I understand completely about the spam problem, however may I respectfully suggest that you consider disabling Anonymous comments, rather than introduce word verification; which is the absolute BANE of my blogging life?
It's beautiful. What terrific use of such lovely fabric.
I hope your spam problem improves. I found disabling anonymous worked pretty well, as I too find captcha rather difficult to negotitate.
Love it!
Just beautiful Sharon!
This is beautiful and will look awesome with your new V1247 skirt.
How beautiful Sharon! After making my first lace dress with a simple cotton lace I am awed by your top.
