Dolman Sleeve Top

Last year I saw a post from Merrick and Merricks Art with a tutorial for this top. While raiding the clearance bin at WalMart i found a purple textured fabric and thought that it might be good for this top!

Friday afternoon i went to the Gap Outlet and found this pair of trouser cut jeans for 5 dollars! This little purchase set me on a mission to create a new top to go with it.

And there we went. It took me a few hours but thanks to Netflix i was able to pass the time away and before i knew it i had this top. This is my first article of clothing that i have done with my sewing machine but i know it wont be the last.

Bess and Baines both wanted to be in the photo so they posed for you all.

    1. Those crazy dogs will never miss a photo opportunity. I would move to reset the camera and Bess would follow. When i returned to my spot she would sit and pose. Silly dogs!

    1. On my clothing site, I'll be selling this on my etsy shop. It was so easy to make and super comfy. I've made a baggier one and used it as a yoga shirt.
