I was desperat, I had nothing to wear this midsummer(Yeas, "every-body" celebrate mid-summer in Sweden). So i made myself this:

A empiretop with loooooong ribbons to lace myself up in.

...and a little tie-shirt with trumpetsleeves, to put over my shoulders when the evening arrived and it got a bit shilly. Horribel pic, I´m sorry. I hope you can get anything out of it anyway.

I made up both pattern the same time as I was sewing. Here´s how I made the tie-shirt!

I cut out the back, with the middle on turn on dubbel fabric.


Then I used the folded back to made two fronts. I modefied it a bit, and kind of V-shaped the neck. I allso made those "to-knot thingies" in the bottoms. Se next pic...


Then I cut out two triangels for the trumpetshape of the sleeves. And sew the whole thing together. Folded it and decorated it. Voila!

Actually I had that in mind. But I must take more shots first, after washing it...

I haven't been on crafster for a while and I'm so happy to see so many of your great posts that I haven't seen before I feel like posting in all of them  my congratulations on staying so creative.
This twinset is lovely, not only because it is so original but it shows your wonderfull figure, you have a great style.

I love how you added the ties so you can give it a fitted look! Great top! *wanders off thinking about how to make one similar*

Gosh, what a feedback! *stunned and proud and even a bit emberessed*
 
Hiii, I will defenetly take better and closer pics of the tops. 

Olenka, great too see you again! Thanks a lot for the flattering personal words by the way! Staying creative, yeah... Lack of money and wanna have a lot creats creativity! (but it´s fun to make stuff too) The set is made out of unbleach cottonjersey, wich costed me less than a dollar (translated from the swedish crown) á 100cm...

Samsara: that´s the very reason ties and drawstrings and similar stuff is one of my favourites... Becuase I don´t have too spend soo much work of having it i perfekt size. It give it by it´s self.
Here´s something similar of my top by the way... http://otsukaya.co.jp/TeduBigF0406.htm over the chestJust alter the length, make some (whats the english word for it? Help, anyone!) reducing? Cut in? and two sprunds over the hips. Then the spot over i: add a long tie (I made it in my own legnth:160 cm...) too the waist and  fix it there with a few handsewn stiches... Done.

If you made something like this for your selves, please let me know! I´m a curious soul and would love to se it...
