The Rosie Top - Style Arc

Usually I like to keep my "fabric hauls" to 2 or 3 pieces of fabric because I get overwhelmed and ultimately something gets added to the stash cabinet and doesn't see the light of day.  Well, I'm proud to say this didn't happen with my last haul from The Fabric Store in LA.  I sewed everything up!  Here's a beloved top made from a delightful rosebud silk crepe de chine.  I eyed it when I first walked in and although they only had 1 1/4 yards left (apparently others liked it too) I brought it home anyway.

StyleArc's Rosie Top was already on my sewing list and what are the chances it would not only fit on 1 1/4 yards of rosebud fabric but also be called "Rosie"?  It was meant to be. It's a simple peplum top that skims the body and has a darling pleat in the back.  It sewed up in under 2 hours and honestly the teeny tiny hem (I'm quite proud of it) was the longest step.  I've worn it with jeans, black pants and a straight skirt.  It's versatile and comfortable and a peplum style without looking too fussy.

I've stitched up everything in this stack but haven't photographed it all.  Unfortunately the light pink Liberty fleece on the bottom never made it back from our trip to New York.  I'm not sure if it was left in the hotel room by accident or someone decided they needed it more than I did.  Either way, hopefully it found a good home.  

An exciting note....there's a new pattern on the way!  It'll be ready for your New Year sewing list.  More details coming soon!
