Cropped top from skirt

 

Hi, this was my favorite skirt from about twenty pounds ago.  I love the retro style embroidered design, so it was remake time.

Taking it apart yielded  two panels of embroidered fashion fabric, a black poly lining  perfect for the neck facing, and a seven inch concealed zipper that I can use for another project.

   

 

 

 

 

                           

1. square up the fabric panel removing darts  
2. seamed panels together for front panel  cut back front another fabric, I used Kona cotton

3.copied the neckline from a similar blouse.  

4.drafted neck line facing  

5. sewed side seams, narrow hemmed bottom and arm holes

This is  my first post. 
Happy July 4 to all, Iris
