So the good news is I came up with the absolutely perfect design for a tie top!

The bad news is (for me anyway) that it came to me right at 5 am this morning and I was so excited that I couldn't get back to sleep :-P

It's going to have both elastic and fitted seams so it fits just right and stays where it's supposed to - and the pattern will only require cutting out and sewing together 3 pieces of fabric - which means I can price it extremely reasonably!

So when I come back online with the pants (can't tell you a date until I know for sure but I think it will probably be pretty soon) I'll have tops too! Yay!

    Yes, it's my sister. :-)

    Update: I got the patterns done last night, and I just need to add on the seam allowance and trace and cut them out. And I got the test top made and tried it on and it looks adorable and fits perfect (yay!) Now I'm waiting on my clear elastic to arrive (backorder :-/) before I can actually complete one to take pics. But unlike last time when I made my old tie top pattern and thought "hmmm these aren't half bad but they aren't totally good either.." this time it's more like "squee it's perfect I look so cute..."

    And I also have another thing I'll be adding when I add these tops in a couple weeks or so - I call them sleevelets - kind of a cross between a gauntlet and a flared sleeve - they match perfect with the pants.

    So um... YAH!!!

        oh yes I totally forgot - I now ship everywhere! I'll start a new thread about that. Paypal finally decided to stop being stupid so my shopping cart is now enabled to calculate shipping worldwide.
