Stashbusting 2015

Love this top, made from a cotton knit purchased at High Fashion Fabrics. It has no Lycra but I love the color and I purchased enough to make this top and a Renfrew too. The pattern is  McCall's 6513 by Palmer/Pletsch. Fantastic directions, this is my first PP pattern. Will definitely look for more by them since the fitting info is amazing. Not too much issue with pattern since it's for knits but so much good information. I did take off about 1.5 inches on each crossover side so there is no gaping at the front and about .5 inch from each sleeve as they were too wide. Also cut off about 3 inches from the bottom otherwise it would have been too long. 

The skirt was made last year from a heavy ponte from Fabric Mart. I used StyleArc's Fay Skirt  pattern. Must admit I did not make it right away after getting the pattern in the mail since it did not make much sense to me. I think it was probably 4-5 mos before I decided to make it and have to admit it's my favorite skirt. I love the shape and no hemming!I used the same pattern for a different skirt in a raspberry ponte but made it knee length. Love it! By the way, it's a super fast and easy make. My favorite kind. 

I love this top.
