ISO: Halter Neck Apron Wrap Top Pattern

[macca]

I have a pattern for one here that I took off a top that my friend bought it's slighly different to that pattern that stardust posted

Any chance you coudl take a pic for me of the pattern laid out so I can get an idea of what it looks like?

Thanks Kristy for that, will try it out on some scrap fabric and see how it goes.

Yip will do tomorrow, about to head to bed - been a long week

I have a pattern here which I've made. Its nothing special, but I can trace it off if you want and send it to you? Just PM me.

All good thanks, I now have a pattern I adapted from Stardusts pattern.

Did you end up making one of these?, if you did I'd would be keen to see pics, I have the fabric and an idea how but would love to see one done and any hints would be most appreciated.

Yes I did...there's a pic of Viv modeling it in the V2 Surprise Me Swap Received thread...I'll just go find the link.

One thing I learnt off someone else is dont join the top at the neck. If you leave them as loose straps you can wear it several differnt ways. Halter, Strapless, One shoulder, etc.

Fab thanks, I saw Viv's on her blog and liked it, but didn't know who made it. I'm trying to decide how long to make the ties at the neck, did you just overlock around it or do seams?

[ariayla]

I used the rolled hem function on my overlocker, but you could also just use a normal overlocker stitch but jsut reduce the size of the stitch width. I was gonna use the rolled hem function on my sewing machine but took me all of 10 minutes to do it on the overlocker.

Cheers, have just worked out the rolled hem on the overlocker, and it makes such a fab job, now to attach the neck ties and back ties and it will be all done, unfortunately have to do the mundane get tea, bath kids, off to bed etc before I can get back to it, but was so much fun fiddling to get the stick right.

Cool, would love to see pics when you done.

Pics here and in my homemade gallery
Laid flat

and on excuse the jammies and crappy pic, but everyone else is in bed


Would look better with blue thread, but reluctant to change the overlocker thread, fabric was $5/m from the clearance bin at the only local but expensive store, are off to Chch this week, so hope to get some more fabric to make a few different colours, and will of course need to invest in some T's and decent pants, it doesn't really go with jammie pants
