A New Look at some more Jalie

I made three dresses a fortnight ago!  And lucky me, I had enough fabric left over to cut out three sleeveless tops for summer.  So here’s the first one – New Look 6470, view B.

You don’t get much easier than this! Two pieces, with the cowl self-lined. I made the size 12, which is pretty snug – I slowed down on my gym routine over winter and it shows a little.

Then there’s Jalie 2787. I’m really getting my money’s worth from this pattern!

The construction is all done with the overlocker and hems with a twin needle on my regular machine. It gives a nice finish but wouldn’t a coverstitch machine be lovely!

Gee, you really don’t get much styling with these photos, do you! No lipstick, hair barely brushed, no accessories – but I have to make the most of having a willing photographer whenever one is available! Lastly we have Jalie 2804. I’ll start with the back (see what I mean about a little snug after winter):

I pretty much used up every scrap of each fabric to make these tops! I know they’ll all get lots of wear.  And with no sleeves, they were super fast to make.
