Yes, it was difficult to sew the baby hem (this was also a new skill for me) for the neckline, I think because of a couple of factors. One, the crepe de chine is like liquid water.... all slippy, slidey..... then Two. This neckline is cut almost directly on the bias. It doesn't look that deep on, as it's all because of the way the pleats draw up the neckline to look more 'normal'. I applied the technique in your link (sort of) to the aqua stable knit and the baby hem was soooo much easier and results were nicer. Next time I shall use the tutorial link in full and see. Right now, I'm sort of ready for a break! Ooooooo, I'd love to see a picture of your crepe de chine!!! Are you going to be doing baby hems on that? 1m is perfect for a top. Look forward to seeing and hearing what you think about working with crepe de chine.

Lovely tops,I like the turquoise one for the pretty colour and the crepe dechine one for the pretty print. Was it difficult to sew the baby hem for the neckline? I just bought 1m of crepe de chine on Friday. I have no idea what to sew with it, probably a top. I bought it because I've always read about it and I wanted to try it out.
Oh do be careful going about taking your lovely photos to share with us! This stream is such a pretty place.

Thank you Trish!

Thank you Sarah Liz! Sometimes I feel the aquas/turquoise is too 'bold' a color? Kind of got used to the more muted 'neutrals' I've been sewing.

Hi Felecia! Nice to see you here! When you are ready to sew your clothes, you'll do it! Even though I'd sewn lots for my two girls when they were little, I've only been sewing for myself @2 years. I started small with an apron, then comfy wear..... then worked up to more daily, wear out-in-public clothes. It's a great hobby and you'll find a supportive, encouraging group of ladies online!! Blessings to you too!

Hi Lisa, I love the tops. Both of them look great for summer. The crepe de chine one looks a little more dressy, and the Aqua one more practical. What a beautiful place you live in too. Thanks for the location shots. Stunning. Regards TS

What a pretty outfit - I'm referring to the first photo - the cool aquas go so well with the tranquil scenery. It really is a very beautiful part of the world, and you are so lucky to have it to yourself much of the time :). The crepe de chine top is lovely as well :)
