Un petit quelque chose ~

When I go to the gym I usually wear tank tops or tee shirts but for yoga I like something a little more interesting and a bit more fashionable; a looser and more flowing fit. I found this top by Olivia Moon which I love, it looks very ordinary but for some reason the fit and drape is very flattering and comfortable. I have been looking for another one, but so far I haven't found anything. So...
 
 
I got the brilliant idea to make a pattern from it and make one!


I found this silky knit which turned out to be perfect.


 
Knits are disgustingly easy to sew with and I am very happy with my new top, in fact I plan on wearing it to my yoga class this evening.


 
If you haven't ever tried yoga I highly recommend it: adaptable to any age and condition, keeps you flexible and strong, excellent for your posture, and is so relaxing.

  3. Really turned out great and I love the fabric pattern. Maybe I should do yoga since I am so stiff from old age.

  7. I love it, it looks very nice. I have done yoga myself for several years, but because of knee problems I had to stop.

  10. Well done! When I find something I love - something that fits and flatters and feels wonderful - I wish I could duplicate it. You've done it so beautifully!

  11. Such a cute top! I love yoga but have not been doing much of it since my move. I really notice the difference and can't wait to get back into my routine. Enjoy your class and your cute top too.

  12. Hi Adrienne. Oh, I love what you've done. The fabric is so pretty and I bet it looks great on you. You make yoga sound very interesting. I have never tried it but the old bones are starting to stiffen up, so may be just the ticket. It's offered locally and I think I will check it out..Happy Weekend..Judy
