Here's item #4 for my wardrobe contest entry. I'm sure you guys think I'm just screaming through this wardrobe. I have been so far but that's about to stop. I have been doing knit tops which are easy and already TNT. It's easy to go fast when you know it'll fit. Now its on to the hard, more time-consuming patterns. I have the jeans cut out and the pockets are embroidered and attached. My grandparents are coming into town so I'll be taking a sewing break for a couple of days.
Here's the Jalie twist top with a thin shirt under it. I used a Gorgeous Fabrics knit I purchased about a year ago. I think I've finally used it all up.
I just love the back of this shirt. I'll probably wear it just like this to school tomorrow. I love the red peaking out in the front and back.
My little helper.
Here's a close-up of the twist portion. Since it was the second time around for me for this pattern, I didn't have any problems with the knot/twist at all. It really was fast to make this. There are only 3 pattern pieces and strips for the ties. The part that took me the longest was finding the two strips I had cut for the ties. And, of course, as soon as I cut them out again, I found the original two ties. Dammit.

Love it. Jalie tops are
just so nice :) every time!
That's really pretty - I like the tie in the back... Can't wait to see the jeans...
Dawn do you find the ties are really necessary?
I've made 2 of these and didn't put the ties on. I don't have any problem with the front staying where it's supposed to. And I didn't stabilize with clear elastic or anything either. Just lucky I guess.
You are just blitzing here! Great top.

The shirt is great, and that shade of lipstick looks wonderful on you!
That shirt looks so profesional! How do you get the seams to lie all nice and smooth like that?
