mixed fabric Nessie top

mixed fabric Nessie top \\ craftiness is not optional

I’ve been wanting to make a top like this for ages-I’m not quite sure what held me up…and I’m kinda perturbed with myself for not making one sooner-it’s such a fun look!

My Nessie top is perfect for this- the hi-lo hem really gets shown off!

I also used a woven for the back part! It’s from Joanns-a long time ago, some kind of rayon I think.

I had made myself a top out of it and had a bit left so I found this cute striped knit in my stash, and paired the two up!

I added a simple pocket on the front to carry the floral around to the front.

it works fine with a woven on the back-the front of the top stretched just fine over Sadie’s head.

I love seeing the floral peeking out!

I’ll add another top to the back to school pile!

  6. This is adorable! I saw a couple of shirts while out window shopping a few days ago that mixed patterns & solids like this and my first thought was “which pattern can I use to make something similar?” Now I know!

  7. I’m so glad you tried this top with a woven fabric on the back! That really opens up what you can do with this pattern. LOVE it!
