Kente Top
Happy Sunday Loves!! Hope you guys are having a wonderful Sunday..
So I've been trying to learn pattern-making for a while now, and let me tell you, it has not been easy. About a few months ago, I decided to put what I've learned so far into practice. I wanted to make a simple top that I can wear on a pair of jeans or skirt. Even though I wanted it to be extremely easy to make, I still wanted it to have something that makes it different/unique, so I decided to make the sleeves different (see pic below). I was also going to add curves to the side seam on the hem, but I changed my mind.
After I finished making the patterns, a few months back, I ended up putting it aside and making it a PhD (Project Half Done) project.
Fast forwarding to about a week ago, I was in the middle of making a peplum jacket for PrettyGirlsSew Jan/Feb Sew-Along… The jacket was taking forever to make (still not done) that I decided that I want to make something that is quick and can give me an instant gratification. I looked back at my fabric stash and saw the Top pattern I created sitting on top of the fabric and some Kente fabric (from Joann Fabric) right next to it. Below is what I made.
