I love taking time to test patterns for me! The Beausoleil Top is the latest pattern by Itch to Stitch and, as always, I wasn’t disappointed! I’ve already tested quite a few of Kennis’s patterns and I’m in awe at how clever her patterns are. This one is no exception: I’m completely in love with it and, for once, really enjoyed having my pictures taken (I paired the Beausoleil with my ITS’s Liana Stretch Jeans…ITS-total look)!
I did a 8B blended to a 10 for waist and hips. I shortened the bodice 1/2″, but that’s a normal alteration for me since I’m barely reaching 5’4″.
Beausoleil‘s inside is as pretty as the outside thanks to the all-in-one facings and the use of the burrito method to hide some seams. Everything is clearly explained and Kennis even added some picture tutorials for the trickier ones.
And last but not least, I’d like to thank The Teen who took rather good pictures of his old mom (except that I got censored when I wanted to do a sexy Marilyn pose…pfff, not funny, son, not funny!).
Then, he told me that someone was coming our way (and since we were shooting on our neighbours’ alley…no trespassing though!). Ha, he can be funny after all!
The fabric is some cotton that looks like gauze and was rather tricky to work with, but I like how it gives some casual chic to the Beausoleil.
