…but I will wear them.
Tea dyed crochet trim with mustard shirting. Perfect combo.
The Jasmine pattern came together pretty fast and easy. There’s not much to say about the construction except that I’m sad I didn’t bother grading the pattern up (like usual). I assumed because the pieces were cut on the bias the shirt would have enough give. Silly, Mela. Silly, silly, silly.
Loving the trim, not the wrinkly bust
But I do love how it came out. The crochet trim is a great way to go. So glad I followed in the steps of Miss Patty Snug Bug. I’d love to make another (that fits properly) in a yummy silk. Just like Patty. Have I mentioned how much I love her style? Cause I do.

Very pretty! I have my fabric picked out for my Jasmine but I’m in a bit of a “no sew” zone. Perhaps this is the inspiration I need to get my act together š

I honestly dragged this project out because I wasn’t in the sewing mood. But once I got the collar on it was smooth sailing. You’ll see š

Thanks! The effects? Those are due to my husband’s DSLR camera. Much nicer than using my ancient point and shoot!

It looks gorgeous! The shoulders look about right to me, so maybe a FBA would solve the pull lines? Otherwise it looks great and the colours are beautiful. It’s definitely wearable and I can see it being worn a lot!

This is beautiful Mela, shame about the fit. But it really doesn’t look bad, can you not just wear it anyway? Just a head’s up, I’m so going to copy you regarding the crochet trim…I love it so much! Can I ask where you got yours from…the width of it is perfect!

I will definitely wear it anyway, under a cardi at first. Still working on getting trim and healthy and if I do maybe it’ll fit well then š

It was originally 1.5in. and it shrunk in the dryer. It’s now an inch wide, so 3cm. I got it from ebay. The seller was called waywayshop. My only reservation with suggesting this seller is that they were suppose to send me 5 1/2 yards and I actually got 4 1/2. Hopefully you can find something similar from a better source.

Thanks so much for this! Funnily enough I’ve bought some lovely crochet trim from this seller before so I don’t know why I didn’t think of it – LOL! I’ve never measured my trim from there before, but I will now ;o)
