Te amo Anthropologie



I love Anthropologie, hands down favorite shop. Yesterday I was inspired to try and build a look alike to this top.


Materials: 1 yard shell pink knit + old too small grey Target T



Constructed the embellishment from grey T, cut into strips and sewed the pink strip onto the 3 strips.


Then cut out pink fabric to make the top. I used another long shirt for a model because I didn't have a pattern to follow.



Then the fun part of pinning the embellishment on.



Finally sewed it on in place. The cowl neck took a long time to create and a few errors along the way I had to rip out and start again. Upon looking at it I decided to add another grey bit to the other shoulder to balance it out. Also I didn't add cap sleeves like the original as those tend to bulge my arms.





Ta da! For a no pattern project I like it. A few adjustments left but overall a fun day project!
