One thing we really love to see is people taking Liesl’s patterns and customizing them a bit. That\u2019s exactly what Constan\u00e7a did with her beautiful Lisette B6182 boxy top. You\u2019ll see how by simply adding two different crochet trims, it can make something so pretty!<\/em><\/p>\n

\nPattern:<\/strong> Lisette B6182<\/a>
\nFabric:<\/strong> Two yards of white cotton lawn leftover from making my son’s christening gown<\/a>. I also used two different crochet trims I bought the last time I was in Portugal.<\/p>\n

Did the fabric work well?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it did. I was envisioning a modern heirloom-inspired top and my first choice of fabric would have been white handkerchief linen, but I was unable to find any locally. The cotton lawn is very lightweight, pressed well and was perfect for French seams.<\/p>\n

\"Lisette<\/a><\/p>\n

How did the sewing go?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very well. I sized down (my measurements put me into a size 16 but this is a 14) and used French seams throughout. The sleeves were a bit fiddly because I used a wide crochet trim instead of the provided sleeve bands. I ended up having to shave off the seam allowance on the sleeves in order to stitch the trim. I also lengthened the top by 4 inches and simply zigzagged the bottom trim in place, butting the fabric and the trim together (no hemming required). Oh and I also lowered the bust dart by 1\/2”.<\/p>\n

What was the best part?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love all the details in this top. It’s elaborate yet not too fussy. It feels elegant and fits beautifully. It’s become a staple in my summer wardrobe!<\/p>\n
