My pattern is one that I made myself. A while back I found a basic jersey long sleeved tee that I wanted to purge. It was the sort you can get in most stores. Anyway, I cut it up and made a pattern from it. I did a basted-together mock up, to check on fit, using scraps of old jersey fabric and then cut a more permanent pattern for me to use. I use it to cut all my tops from now and tweak the shape for variations.</p> <p>Thanks Sihaya, Robin, Shevia and Kimlee!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-inspired-by-minimally-fab#post-1666850 Wed, 25 May 2016 12:28:21 +0000 kimlee 1666850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A super cute take on minimally fab.

I didn't actually have a trapeze top, but I did have a length of pale grey marl jersey fabric. It was only a cheap purchase and it had lain in my fabric stash for a while. So using my basic pattern, I serged a top up for myself. I'm not usually such a speedy sewist, but this went together in a jiffy and was finished in less than 3 hours!</p> <p>&nbsp;I've shown the outfit pretty much using the ensemble inspiration, but the reality is that I had to wear a scarf, utility&nbsp;jacket and closed toe shoes this morning...chilly again...ugh!</p> <p>Close up pic showing earrings and I'm wearing coral lippy. </p> <p>Top :&nbsp;Made by me</p> <p>Jeans : Next</p> <p>Bag : Dune</p> <p>Sandals : Bruno Premi</p>
