I made this top using the sadie top pattern.

I’d still consider myself beginner-intermediate at sweing, so I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. I absolutely love this cotton fabric. The colors and pattern are so fun 💜

I’m still not fully happy with my gathers (gathers are difficult 😭), but overall I really love the final result. One thing I especially appreciated about the pattern was the option to add hook and eye tape for a more modest fit. Before adding it, there was a huge gap at the center bodice and I thought I had made the top too small. But once I added the hooks, the fit improved SO much. I never would’ve thought such a small detail could make that big of a difference!

I feel like is AI but they have a video of the dress in a dress form so i think maybe its real. Then again the pictures look like AI. There is few reviews and their insta account looks like AI too

If this is AI, do you have suggestions for a similar pattern I could buy?

I saved up to be able to purchase all these. I filled up a carry on suitcase. Some of of these fabric will be gifted to my mother in law. This does not include the notions I bought like scissors and zippers

I didn’t go with a plan and just bought what I liked. I did buy more than 3 meters for the demin and other fabric I thought would be nice for pants or a dress. The blueberry prints, I want to turn into a quilted jacket

Other fabric might be turned into shirts for my husband. I believe i spent about $400-$500
