NewLook 6286- Blue, White & Black Paisley Top

A dear friend of mine bought this beautiful blue and white paisley fabric at Hancock Fabrics and I KNEW I just have to have some. I wanted it for a jumpsuit but unfortunately there was only 2 yards left of it at the store. So instead I decided to make it into a cute top. I LOVE how this turned out. And I LOVE the low hem in the back. Very cute! It's just my style---a mesh of gorgeous fabric with a cute and effortless style.

    That is a very cute top. While a jumpsuit would have been great, I think it was fortunate you only had enough for this top. You'll get a lot of wear from this one.

    I totally agree. This IS a great top. I think it worked out better as a top than it would have as a jumpsuit. The fact that there were only two yards left is a signal that the universe agrees with me. What's next? Can't wait to see it.
