Peplum Top – Vogue 8815

Clothing, Fashion, peplum, Sewing, trends

I pulled out a pattern I have been meaning to try – Very Easy Vogue 8815. I have wanted to make a peplum top for quiet some time now! I chose to make view B.

I pulled out some left over material from another project – the only item I had to buy was the zipper! Sometimes I worry that I have too many craft supplies that have no intended purpose/project. However, it’s nice to open up my stash and shop from home!

After getting the pattern and fabric cut out, the top came together very quickly! I like the elbow length sleeves and stylish peplum. One thing I would change for next time would be to lengthen the peplum – it could be more flattering if it were to hit my body differently.

I am looking forward to adding this to my work wardrobe! I have yet to wear it…when I do I’ll be sure to add a picture!

What new fashions are you looking to add to your wardrobe?

What’s on My Needles?

I love it when people ask me what is on my knitting needles today.  I usually have a couple of projects going at the same time: one large project and one small project.  Socks are my typical small project, however today I have a cowl on my needles and my large project really is not on needles.  It is a cardigan which is complete except sewing on the pockets, buttons and knitting the optional Festive Fur collar.  Unfortunately I am not happy with the body length.  It is really a jacket but seems too short even though I added an 1″ to the length.  It looks great on the mannequin but God made me with a long torso.  What do you think I should do?  I am considering a peplum.
