The fabric is by Kei that I got from the wonderful Treehouse Textiles. The quality is just beautiful. I had fun playing with the stripes and did them in the opposite direction on the front placket and even managed to match them up properly! It feels very orange when I have it on - I think I'll have to pair it with a navy cardigan until I get used to it :)
Then I spotted this gorgeous modified Tova over on Angela Fussy Cut's blog. I decided to make one up in some Sweetwater Reunion that I got on sale. I decided to do pleats on the front instead of gathering it and I love how this turned out.
I think I should stop now…
If you want to see the different order I make the pattern in you can find my notes here.
No don't stop! It's fun seeing your wonderful tovas and seeing which fabrics you use. They really suit you!
ReplyDeleteHaha -- I don't think you can ever have too many tovas, can you? They look great -- and really different too -- what a difference the fabric makes!
ReplyDeleteThey both look great. I love the orange one especially.
DeleteSaw your washi top on flickr, came to see your other Wiksten tops. Great job! Good eye for fabric. So hoping to have equal success.
