Last SWAP item - Just about done!



Yay! It's yet another Butterick 3344 shirt though the sleeves were stolen from a simplicity pattern. I like cap sleeves and that's the one thing the butterick pattern is lacking so had to frankenpattern. And this means that four of my six SWAP tops are from one pattern. Which I probably bought for 99c. I think that counts as a very successful tried-and-true pattern and a very good deal. :)

So the current SWAP standing (with one day left to do it all)

DONE
4 tops
4 bottoms

Still to do
- Jacket - put in buttonholes, buttons
- White top - hem
- Black sweater - hem

So close!!!

And this weekend we'll do a photo shoot so I can show off all my pretties. :) Gotta wash a few of them first- I've been wearing them like crazy. I think that's what we call a winning wardrobe!

Wow, you've done so much work. Congratulations. I can't wait to see the photo shoot. I love to see what other people make for their wardrobe pieces.

I love the stencil job you did on this top - it's the exact right amount of embellishment.

Good job on nearing completion of a full SWAP - you go, girl!

I do love this shirt. The stencil and black trim just make it.
