I made another Peplum Top! This time I made it from Ponte Knit in a wide black and white stripe. I wanted a peplum top that could be dressed up a little more and this is perfect for black skinny jeans and a jacket for spring.
I followed the same pattern I made from my tutorial on making a peplum top. The only change I made was to add in a pleat in the sleeve. It looked pretty nifty on the flat pattern piece but it's not very noticable once sewn up and worn but I don't mind. It's a little added interest.
Also I concentrated really hard and managed to get some awesome stripe matching action happening on both the bodice and the peplum. Check it.
I paired it up with my Red Leather Bow Necklace to wear out and I loved them together.
Also apologies for the blurriness in these photos we were fighting against some twilight light and losing quickly. I couldn't help but use them though because there are just so many beautiful little painted laneways in Newtown.
So there you have it. Another success from my Shopping for fabric with a list challenge.
I love what u did with the sleeve, thanks for sharing a how-to with the photo... could use that technique to add pleats to everything :P
ReplyDeleteA super-sew-up with those stripes - had to look twice for the join! Love how this can be dressed up or down, as needed...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and the sleeve is extra cute.
ReplyDeleteReally cute! I love the sleeve detail. I added a pleat to my Alma blouse - it was a fix a huge cap sleeve but it's such a cute little detail.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric choice and you did a fab job getting the seams to match up!
ReplyDeleteLove this peplum top! I've just made my first and see why you love them so much!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really sharp on you! (Wow, I sounded like my Granny when I said that!) Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The sleeve detail is very frisky!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute top. Love the pleat in the sleeves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great top! Nice work on the stripe matching (I suck at matching patterns, I just don't have the patience) and the sleeve detail is really cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, I think we have the same glasses, haha!
DeleteAnother awesome peplum top! I have your tutorial bookmarked, just have to find the right fabric for it (and once I finish the other dozen projects I have on the go).
ReplyDeleteSo so cute! Love it on you
