Yesterday's mistake

is today's design feature.

As you can see, the birds on the fence are sewn onto the top as a patch.  I had embroidered a top front, but the fence was ever so slightly askew.  So I cut the embroidery off of that piece of fabric and cut a new shirt front.  I prefer this version instead of what I had orginally planned.  Nicole of Jang Design does this frequently on the tops that she makes.  I love the effect of highlighting the embroidery.

 

These tops are for my friend's daughter.  My friend came over and picked the colour of the body of each shirt.  She also really liked the red/white polka dots.  She left the rest to me.

Next up in the sewing queue...rainbow redondos, so if you've been waiting, they are coming...really they are!   Which reminds me, I should take a photo of some of the rainbow sleeve Antonias that I made last week.
