Essential Top - Finished!
Done at last! There's been a lot of hand sewing involved, as this fabric frays so easily and needs to be false French seamed on the insides. I also finished the hems by hand. I love it though and I think this will be a favourite! All in all, it's only cost £3.00 to make. I found the fabric for £2.50 in a charity shop, as well as the thread for 50p. I already had the pattern and some interfacing. I've just sent these pictures to Faye at http://fayessewingadventure.blogspot.co.uk/ so she can add them into her Essential Top lineup. She's extended the deadline to Wednesday, to allow for people taking time out for Easter. I'd recommend hopping over there for a look, as she has some fantastic photos in there.
