![Fail!](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2136/5708593463_59d8e66cd6_s.jpg "Motivated by the <a href=\"http://www.made-by-rae.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Made by Rae</a> <a href=\"http://www.made-by-rae.com/2011/04/its-time-for-spring-top-sewalong.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spring Top Sewalong</a>, I decided to sew a top using the <a href=\"http://www.lilblueboo.bigcartel.com/product/diy-pdf-pattern-and-tutorial-the-pieced-tunic-dress-sizes-xs-to-xl\" rel=\"nofollow\">Lil Blue Boo Pieced Tunic pattern</a>. I chose this pattern for so many reasons:
1. It's cute. The style defintely fits into my wardrobe of casual comfort. I really wanted to make something casual but a little funky...beach/island wear.
2. It seemed pretty simple to sew & I 've been wanting to sew up this top!
3. I have this obsession with upcycling fabric/clothes. I have a crazy collection of second hand clothes just waiting to be refashioned or made into other things. The <a href=\"http://www.lilblueboo.bigcartel.com/product/diy-pdf-pattern-and-tutorial-the-pieced-tunic-dress-sizes-xs-to-xl\" rel=\"nofollow\">LBB Pieced Tunic pattern</a> is made for this! :) I really needed to make a dent in that stash of clothes and start sewing things. Plus, I think it's so fun to mix, match, and put together one-of-a-kind items. This pattern can yield such different looks just by the fabric and combos you choose.
4. It gave me a reason to bust out that serger of mine!
So yeah..."ta da!" here's the top I whipped up. Yay! Not too bad for my first try at this pattern. So, what was my "FAIL?" I missed the deadline for the Spring Top Sew Along by about 1 1/2 hours (I just had too much going on yesterday)...or so I thought. I threw in the towel and was comforted by the fact I had a new top for my wardrobe, started sewing on my serger, and made a sliver of a dent in my second hand clothes stash. Then, today, I read that the contest had been extended for 24 hours!!! How in the world did I miss that post? But alas, I was reading about the extension 2 hours past the extension deadline. Fail! Well, since I'm not entering this top in the contest, at least I don't have to photo myself in it! ha ha ha! Another plus!
Anyways...I'm so happy to that I was able to make this LBB Pieced Tunic. I'm so glad that Ashley over at <a href=\"http://www.lilblueboo.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Lil Blue Boo</a> came out with this pattern for adults! :) As with all other <a href=\"http://www.lilblueboo.bigcartel.com/category/pdf-sewing-patterns\" rel=\"nofollow\">LBB Patterns</a>, the Pieced Tunic pattern includes easy to follow directions & photos, great tips for sewing with knits, and a section on ways to piece the top together. The top is very easy to assemble even for a novice like me. The part that takes the longest (but is so much fun to me) is choosing what t-shirts/fabric I want to use and figuring out how I want it piece it together. The sewing itself is quick. For this particular top I used 4 different shirts and some scraps from the <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/43441357@N06/5478558936/in/photostream\">green Little Woo</a> I sewed. Pattern seems to fit true to size...what was I thinking making an XS?! ha ha ha! Next time around I will make it in a small and shorten it a tad bit. I'll be making a few more of these tops for myself! :)")
![Frilly T-shirt](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2218/5724820814_19ae6497d4_s.jpg "First time working with jersey knit fabric. I took a class at "The Workroom" in Toronto to make this project, based on a Jalie pattern. Added neckline flowers following an online tutorial ... but I think the emebellishment turned out too big! Finished it a mere day after the deadline but posting it just for fun.
