Quick project that requires little fabric

I made this top out of a bargain bin viscose rayon and I just about managed to squeeze the pattern pieces onto the little fabric I had.
After tissue fitting I decided to do a 2cm FBA, which was definitely the right idea because the top now fits perfectly.
I cut off a good 6 cm at the hem after the FBA because the top had gotten overly long and I don't have the longest torso.

The neckline facing came out a bit floppy but that is mostly down to me using a too light interfacing.
The armholes were too low cut for my liking but I finagled it around a bit and sewed them up higher.

All in all, this is a fun quick sewing project and one of the better free patterns that I've done.

Declic top

I made this first one out of some old stash fabric that unfortunately was to thick and didn't press very well, so I had a bit of a struggle, which of course isn't the patterns fault at all.
The neckline came out really nice and I love the look of the front with the pleats :) However I struggled a lot with the armholes and the side seams and didn't get them to match up properly. The armholes were way too big for my liking and the side seams under the arms looked very odd at the top :( Next time I'm going to make some changes and perhaps use biasbinding instead of a double hem for the armholes, do regular seams instead of french seams (at least at the sides) and of course, choose a lighter fabric. Declic in this particular fabric is totally wearable but not a favourite.

Thank you for the free pattern! :)
