Summer Fabric Craft - Woman's Top

Share |

I really like the blog Sew Mama Sew, and I love this post on how to make a woman's top. The inspiration was a shirt she bought for her daughter from a thrift store. With a few tweaks of the pattern, she was able to turn it into something suitable for women, and it's easy to adjust and do variations with it. If you go to the post you can download a PDF of the pattern. I really want to do this soon.


I think fashion fabrics would work great for this project. Here are my three recommendations:

Inspire fashionable foliage! This retro melon fashion leaf fabric is perfect for home sewing projects from summer tote bags to curtains and pillows. Features melon leaves that remind us of vintage paper cut outs. This chic fabric is sure to make a fashion statement. 

This colorful orange & pink modern floral fabric is sure to make a statement. The mix of pink and orange blossoms on a crisp white cotton background make for a wonderful design accent. This floral pattern as a chic and modern tone that is sure to please. Fashion fabrics are great for curtains or chic aprons!


This beautiful bird polka dot pink fabric is ideal for home decorating projects. Whimsical black bird silhouettes run down in stripes atop pink polka dots on a cream cotton background. Bird prints are in style these days, and this fabric proves why! A great accent fabric for quilters too.
