Pinterest Inspired TOP.......

I recently saw this beautiful top on Pinterest

But could not find out the designer so I decided to create my own. I LOVE Pinterest I tend to find lots of ideas on there for my future sewing projects. I've just recently sewed up this lovely dress...................

But I haven't yet worn it yet.....That's usually when I would take photos, and that's called LAZY!!!! Well had some left over fabric and decided to use it to make the stapless beauty. Usually when I would make my own creations I would try to find a pattern that comes close to whatever it is I'm attempting to sew. I had no LUCK or I was being LAZY AGAIN!!!!  But since I had this new lovely pattern on hand

I decided to use it as a guide....BUT to no surprise after evaluating the structure of the original top....I DITCHED the pattern......NO USE ......This top is actual made of so many different pieces. It wasn't so difficult once I decided to make the top as if I were making a bathing suit top and then just add the bottom part of the bodice and the peplum. Getting those stripes lined up was killing me since this was not a chevron pattern fabric, but I needed to create my own chevron pattern. It took me a few days to get it together ......Mainly because when working with stripe fabric it tends to HURT MY EYES.....NO KIDDING....LOL! But it was worth the challenge, I think it came out pretty nice.....SORRY ABOUT the PICS THEY ARE A BIT DARK........I REALLY REALLY DON'T LIKE TAKING PHOTOS I ALWAYS TEND TO NOT LIKE THEM AT ALLLLLLLLL BUT ONCE THEY WERE TAKEN I .......REFUSED TO TAKE THEM OVER.....WORKING ON GETTING COMFORTABLE TAKING PHOTOS...LOL!!!....OR MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE NOT USED MY PHONE CAMERA...LOL!!!!

Hope you like the final results....xoxoxo!
