Ever since last winter I have been trying to get around to making another Stokx Skater top, and dropping the waistline. I found my last one a bit high in the waist, although it doesn’t look high, it just feels it.
I used some beautiful cotton knit given to me by Jenny (@joeandroxy on IG). It has flowers and what I feel is an animal print (are there zebras hiding in there?), and although my initial reaction was that I didn’t think the fabric was “me”, I couln’t pass it up as it felt so good. Now I feel that it’s definitely me!
I teamed it with my new denim Stokx Square Pants as I feel they are a match made in heaven.
My absolute favourite thing about this top is that peplum at the back, it has exactly the right amount of flare.
I feel a lot more comfortable with the dropped waistline. It also makes the top slightly longer – I added 3cms – which I also like.
This is such a great top, I love the princess seams and the higher neckline.
It was a joy to wear this on a clear and crisp day.
and finally more sewing from Miss G and her Dad. We will not discuss the amount of mess on the floor afterwards!
This is a beautiful top, Sue, with a superb fit! And thanks for the “tutorial” video. I couldn’t help but smile while watching. These moments are priceless xxx
Thank you, they are precious times indeed!
Love the video and love your pretty, flattering top. When I Googled the pattern, it showed the price for a PDF pattern was over $199,000.! Did some prankster do that?
But that’s “after tax”, WinkWink. I saw that typo too, but the other patterns that I spot checked were AOK!
Oh, was it an April fool maybe?
I’m not sure about the price. Go to Stokx patterns and take it from there.
This fabric is divine!😍
Thank you, it feels lovely
