I'm on leave this week so I've finally got some time to get on with my crafting projects. Spent yesterday afternoon and this morning sewing this smock top. I cut the pieces out weeks ago but just haven't had a decent run of time to make it until now.
It was a bit fiddly but I really took my time and made the effort to tack it all together before letting loose on the machine - and I'm really glad that I did. It probably saved me time because I didn't have to use the seam-ripper once! This is the first time I've set in sleeves and I'm very pleased with their neatness.
The neckline required some finessing though - the gathered bit was much longer than it should have been so I had to gently pleat it into place before inserting the elastic.
It's a lovely soft fabric and I think I'm going to enjoy wearing it.
It looks like a very calming project - and very pretty too. Well done - I'm so impressed with all your self-taught skills
