Thanks for including details on the construction. I really enjoy refashioning fabric from a much loved item or even picking up a beautiful piece of fabric via the clothing section of the thrift store and refashioning. It is often a somewhat unpleasant surprise how much you need to make anything, but substituting seam binding, etc. for facings can help a great deal. I have an African wax print full skirt I am planning to remake into a top so glad to have seen you touch on this topic today.<br /><br />Fleece (sigh) I think a lot of crafters get into fleece because they can make clothes for a lot of family members, hats, gloves, etc, and throws as well, without having to finish seams, and the fleece itself hides the lack of fitting and good sewing skills. So I think it has its place, though it's not my thing. I have bought a few colorful pieces and made hoody jackets for myself to lounge in on cold winter nights, because it is very cuddly. Sometimes I feel like a lot of it is pushed on the US market by countries in Asia that produce the stuff by the ton. Maybe it will go out of fashion eventually...Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095407804481638515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-30454324711368688282016-10-03T20:08:33.901-07:002016-10-03T20:08:33.901-07:00Perfect job!

I couldn't believe my eyes, but there you go. The top looks great! I'm so glad you were able to salvage the fabric, and it looks like it's found its purpose as a top!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979808408348106338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-8889499679233275992016-10-01T11:47:24.185-07:002016-10-01T11:47:24.185-07:00A great top.
