Self-Drafted Singlet

Posted in Miscellaneous, Sewing

I’ve been drafting my own patterns again! This time I’ve made a singlet top, ready for the summer heat.

The author stands in front of a white lattice, which has a vine growing up it. She wears a singlet top in a blue paisley pattern with black pants. Her hands are behind her back, and she's photographed from neck to hips.

The instructions came from Sewing Love by Sanae Ishida, which I have mentioned on here before.

The author stands in front of a white lattice, which has a vine growing up it. She wears the same blue paisley singlet top and black pants as before. She has her hands in her pockets, and is photographed from neck to hips.

I purchased this gorgeous fabric as a remnant at the craft store, and it’s incredibly lightweight.

The author stands in front of a white lattice, with her back to the camera. She's photographed from neck to hips, and she has one hand on her hip. The back of the blue paisley singlet top is visible.

The instructions said to use bias binding to bind off the neck and armhole openings. This first attempt was okay – I used premade binding from my stash, which was way too wide.

The instructions did say to make your own binding with the excess fabric, so perhaps I’ll try that next time.

The author stands in front of a white lattice, facing the camera again. She has one hand on her hip and one across the front of her body. She wears the blue paisley singlet top with black pants, and is photographed from neck to hips.

There will be a next time, too – I want to make one in a nice light grey. Hopefully I can find another beautiful remnant!

Anyways, see ya!
