Floral Strappy Vintage Style Top


This is just a quick and easy top that I made using some vintage fabric. I loved the colour, making me excited for autumn. 




I started off with quite a small amount of fabric, I cut it into a square to begin with. 


I then marked up the areas I need to remove from the top including a dip in the front, back and also a drop for the arms. 


I then overlocked and stitched the side seams together, this image is what the top looked like before I 
created the bias binding and stitched that around the arm.


My arm hole is quite dropped so I wear it with a bandeau top underneath. The bias Is quite simple to do, I measured how much I would need by just putting the top on and wrapping the tape measure around where I wanted it.


I am really pleased with the out come of this. Lovely colours to wear in autumn with a big cardigan.
