We're done! Well.. you might not be done, but you should be well on your way. And if this version of the Sorbetto wasn't quite to your taste, don't be afraid to come back to it again and try something different. Take Gillian for example. You can see her version here and read about it here.
More focus issues with my dern camera, but you get the idea. I thought I'd try to make things even more patriotic by adding a scarf from 1976 (celebrating the bicentennial of the USA) that I got from my grandmother's estate.
You can see that my bias tape doesn't lay flat on my neck. I think it's probably because of the flimsy netting I used on top and because I couldn't press it.
It bothers me, but I think it's one of those things that I need to let go of, because no one will likely notice when I wear it. Lesson learned about working with flimsy netting.
If you aren't aware, this fabric is from the Little Lisette line by Leisl Gibson. JoAnn's carries it. Aren't the paper hats/boats cute?
If you want to link to a picture of yours in the comments, I'd love to see it!
Your Sorbetto came out adorable. Great fabric, cool netting. I love it with the scarf, and it looks fab with your Clovers. Here's a link to mine, on my Flickr/MMM photostream. Not the best picture, but it's the only shot I have of it so far. Perhaps now that MMM is over I'll be able to catch up on blogging (since I won't be poring over Flickr pics every minute), and document more of what I made this month.

DeleteYou are so cute! And you make great clothes.
ReplyDeleteIt's very cute!!! Fantastic front with lace, and lovely back gathered.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have time to sew mine. Terrible may, I've been very busy, but I really hope to do it the next week, and then, I will show you!!
Hi! Thanks for mentioning my humble sorbetto adaptation! :) Yours is really cute! I never would have thought of using the netting, but it gives a really cool effect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet version, I love the little boats on the stripes, and the netting adds a nice bit of elegance to the sweetness!
ReplyDeleteI love the finished effect!
ReplyDeleteHeres my finished sorbetto. Not a sew-a-long exactly, but definately taking inspiration from yours!

Very cute Sorbetto, Ellen. Killer fabric.
DeleteLovely Sorbetto - the insertion of the netting is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI decided to take the plunge with this sorbetto and have my first go at sleeves on a garment - I'm sure there'll be more to follow! I blogged about it here
