MWM|| Basic Black Top 8/10

Hoy vengo muy emocionada a compartir con ustedes el proceso de este proyecto que elaboré con mucho amor para mi hija. Se trata de un top básico en color negro.

Blessed Needle Monday dear dear NeedleWorkMonday friends. I hope your weekend was one of rest and relaxation. On my part I can tell you that I have been very active with sewing. I have been practicing a lot and I am more and more excited to continue learning and improving my technique.

Today I am very excited to share with you the process of this project that I made with love for my daughter. It is a basic top in black.

A few days ago I went to the fabric store and took the opportunity to buy several pieces of fabric that were half price. Among these fabrics was a piece of black elasticized fabric, which seemed ideal to make a top for my daughter. As I bought the fabric very cheaply I was not afraid of damaging it, the important thing in this adventure is to practice and learn. The first thing I did was to make a pattern with my daughter's top and then place it on the fabric to cut the pieces.

Since the black fabric was a bit transparent, I decided to make the top lined, so I had to cut 2 equal pieces for the front and two equal pieces for the back. Sewing a lined garment seemed ideal for beginners like me, since all the seams are on the inside and imperfections are not very noticeable. On the other hand, I also find it a bit more complicated to place the armhole and neck bias binding.

To assemble the top, the first thing I did was to sew the collar and the armhole of both parts: the main fabric with the lining. In the next step I sewed the shoulders together, guided by a tutorial that explained very well the procedure to follow so that the shoulder seam would be perfect. Finally, I sewed the sides, leaving a small opening to allow me to turn the garment over and sew the edge. The bottom part of the top was the most complex of all, however, I had a lot of patience to baste everything before putting the seam through the machine and it turned out quite well.

El resultado final me gustó mucho, en realidad. Debo decir que me sentí muy bien al ver que pude coser una prenda para mi hija. Lo mejor de todo es que a ella le encantó el top y me pidió que le haga otro en otro color. A este proyecto de costura lo califico con un 8 de 10 porque el resultado me gustó mucho, pero estoy muy consciente de que debo pulir y mejorar mi técnica. Cuéntame que te ha parecido este proyecto y que sugerencias tienes para esta novata de la costura.

Saludos y bendiciones.

I really liked the end result, actually. I must say that it felt great to see that I was able to sew a garment for my daughter. Best of all, she loved the top and asked me to make another one in a different color. I give this sewing project an 8 out of 10 because I really liked the result, but I am very aware that I need to polish and improve my technique. Let me know what you thought of this project and what suggestions you have for this sewing novice.

Greetings and blessings.
