Easy as 1,2,3

It should say easy as 3,4 and 5 because that's the number of tops I've made for the Over the Top Challenge so far. This is Simplicity 3786, view A. I used more of Trudi's gifted fabric, I used hem tape for the trim. I like it a lot. This is Butterick 5217, view D. I admit it's awfully similair to the first black and white knit top I made but I like it anyway and it used up more of my stash. I told my girlfriends that we were to old to wear leggings but I might have to break my own rule because I think this top would look great with a pair of leggings.

And before you think that I only wear black and white, (which I do a lot) here's a pop of pink and white for summer. This is Simplicity 4076 view B, I just love a flutter sleeve on summer tops.

On all of the tops I cut a size 12, for this one I lengthened it 3 inches because I didn't like the top of the waistband length. I'm sure I will need to raise my arms while wearing this top and I don't like flashing people.

I don't know if this can count as part of the Over the Top Challenge but I have a baby shower to attend and whipped up this little onesie tutu. Apparently tutu's are all the rage on Etsy, selling for $25.00. After making this one I see why you need about a million yards of tulle but after figuring that out it was pretty easy. The little princess bling is an iron on.

Here's a picture of me wearing Simplicity 3790, great top belted or not.

I don't know if I will get any more tops made before the 15th but this has been a great jump start to my Spring sewing. Thanks again Faye for sponsoring this challenge.
