Vogue 8815


Peplum tops are very popular at the moment and i've seen some gorgeous ones made using this pattern on other peoples blogs. I decided to make the long sleeve version in navy roma jersey after I saw the Fabric Godmothers version made in roma jersey. I was lucky enough to get the fabric from her shop when it was on sale too, bonus!

I'm fairly new to sewing and pinning out the pattern and cutting the fabric took me quite some time. In the end Bentley had had enough, he dropped his duck on my cutting board, a not so subtle hint to play with him!


And here's my finished top! It's lovely and cosy and it looks nice with my skinny jeans.

My Finished Beignet!

Finally it is finished and I love it!! I made it in a thick synthetic wool lookalike fabric which I got from M Rosenberg and Son at the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching Show in November. I shortened it a little bit and I didn't put in the pockets because they would have added too much bulk. Next time I'm going to make this in a thinner fabric for the summer.
