Sew: Stripey Alexa T-top


 
 
There is something special about a good stripe t-shirt. I love them. I have many, usually Bonds, that I've worn to death. But this tee is in a whole new category. It's stylish and trendy and fits perfectly. This fabric from Tessuti is the bomb!! It is slightly thick and holds its shape. I've washed it a few times and there is no sign of pilling. I was planning a maxi dress in this fabric for summer but it's sold out!!  

 
My ultimate domestic duties outfit comprises of an Alexa T-top with a pair of Anita Ponti pants. A match made in heaven. It feels like you're wearing a tracksuit but you actually look presentable. Bonus!!
 
Project Details
Pattern: Tessuti Alexa T-top, 3/4 sleeve, size XL
Fabric: Yin & Yang Ebony (sold out) from Tessuti Online
Alterations: Lengthened by 5cm, lowered neckline by 7cm
 
While Mr H was having an unplanned sleep this arvo, I decided to snap a few photos of my recent makes. Mr N was happily watching until he decided to join in....
 
 
Being a mother should come with a disclaimer!!

Happy weekend everyone!
