The Starc Top


My summer style consists of clothes that are cool, comfortable and flattering.  The Starc Top by G+G is hitting all of the marks!! Wait until you check out the back of this top! The strappy back design makes this top one of my most charming garments!




The split strap design of the Starc Top is such a unique concept. I'll be honest, applying the straps to the diamond and top was not the easiest process. G+G pattern instructions are clear and precise. There are also pictures to go along with each step. It may be a little harder than most, but it is totally worth it in the end.





I made the Starc Top using 1 yard of bamboo lycra from Twisted Needle Textiles. This bamboo lycra is the best, hands down, for a summer top. It's thin, has a lot of drape, and is very easy to work with.  This fabric, called Mint Filagree, is TNT's round 5 pre-order that ends on July 6th. TNT has quite a few choices of fabrics with their pre-orders and they are always coming up with new and exclusive designs. 




I paired the Starc Top with G+G Heat Wave Hot Pants. These shorts are the perfect compliment to this strappy back top. There is an option for either slim or wide waistband.  My slim waist HWHP are made with Liverpool and it took less than 1 yard of fabric. These shorts are a must have for the summer heat.

Men's Emmett T-shirt

In all the years that I've been sewing, I've never made anything for Phillip. Now I can no longer say that sentence. I recently tested the  Emmet T-Shirt  by Laela Jeyne patterns. Not only did he love it he kept complimenting the softness of the shirt. I used double brushed poly knit fabric that I recieved from  Knitpop .   The Emmett Tee has lots of options: henley style, polo, or plain t-shirt. There are even different sleeve length options. The sizes range from XS-3X. I chose to make the plain tee in a size L with short sleeves. I think the shirt fits him very well. he liked the fact that there is actually a shirt that is custom made for his height (6'3). I added 1 inch to the length of the shirt just for his comfort.  If you've never made a shirt or anything for your significant other, now is the time. This shirt only takes 1.75 yards of fabric to make. The instructions are clearly written with lots of photos to follow. The pattern als

Lollapolooza Top

It's officially hot here in Bossier City, La.  Though while it isn't summer yet, we are in the season of pre-summer. It's time to bring out the practical, cool, and comfortable apparel. The Lollapalooza Top  by  George + Ginger  is all of the above!! This breezy top is sure to be one of your favorites this hot, hot spring! The Lolla Top is an off the shoulder top, which I love, with beautiful accentuated flared gathered sleeves. This off the shoulder top is designed to be one of the most comfortable tops. With 3/8" elastic in the neckline, this shoulder showing top does not slide down, it stays in it's place. I can totally appreciate a  top that I don't have to fight with all day. The flared gathered sleeve  is just so charming. I'm an adult who would wear ruffles everyday if given the chance.  The gathered sleeves of this peasant style top gives it such a dainty feel. Don't be intimidated by the ruffles, it is really easy

RuLo Top and Tunic

I'm not always comfortable with wearing a crop top. My belly is a secret that I would like to keep to myself. When I was approached with the challenge of making a crop top, I wasn't thrilled, but I took it as an opportunity to shine. I decided that the new George + Ginger  RuLo  Crop  Top would be great with a pair of mid waist  Chelsea  Pants by Greenstyle Creations. The RuLo's full bell sleeves with ties really compliments the flair of the Chelsea pants. This ensemble is sheer perfection in my eyes.  Not only is the RuLo an awesome crop top, it can also be a regular length, tunic, dress and an over-sized  dolman. These fabulous sleeves has the options to be a full bell, with or without ties, single, double, triple bell, or a basic sleeve. But wait there's more.  There is even an option for shoulder ruffles. The RuLo top can be made with a two-way stretch sweater knit. You will need about 2 + yards of fabric.  I got my sweater knit
