My last post referenced this Amy Butler pattern as my next project. My "next" project!!! As if I've completed SO many!! I am in love with this halter! It is the VERY first piece of clothing I've made for myself, and I'm afraid it is all I will be wearing in the warm months!
First, I have to say that this pattern was so well written and easy to follow. It noted that it was great for beginners, and I certainly agree. When I ordered the pattern, I also picked out some of Amy Butler's fabric.....not cheap, but worth it! Once I received everything I decided it would be best for me to "test" my skills on less expensive fabric. That's when this sunny material entered my world.
It worked up quickly and smoothly. I started today while the kids were napping, then let dinner dishes sit in the sink a little longer than I like (yuck), and finished after the children were in bed.
Pay no attention to my look - zero makeup and it's late!
The back is a bit deeper than I expected, so what kind of bra to wear is in question. Anyone who has had children, (especially multiples!) or is 40+ understands the need!

Hey! Very nice! It looks really comfy, but I see the bra problem. I have no idea how to solve that because bras are my nemesis...I need a professional bra fitting. There must be one out there that you can wear with your halter. What about stick ons? hehehe..... that ought to feel great in the heat....
I LOVE that - Too cute!! As for the boobs, try the sticky bra!
That turned out really cute! I envy your seamstress skills.
Thats really cute! Good for you, I like to sew also, but have not done it for a while.
Fabulous! i love it. You did a great job. There are bras out there that are low in the back and convertable to a halter. I totally get the bra need:)
That looks sooooooooooo comfy. And the color choice is perfect.
Come on over...today I'm taking y'all on a tour of the Texas State Aquarium via photos!!!! See ya later alligator...Oops, I let the 'cat out of the bag'...Yep, there are alligators. One photo anyway.
Happy Wednesday.
I WANT ONE TOO!!!! (imagine that being said in a 4 year old voice while stomping my feet on the floor because my sister has something and I don't!!!) ;) Great job...it looks fantastic! Let me know when you get the bra thing figured out and then I want to borrow your pattern!
Stephanie,
Not only do you ROCK that halter top, you did a fantastic job making it. It looks well made, and wonderful ON you. If I had your arms, I think I'd feel complete as a person. j/k.
This is sooooo adorable!! Please sell them on your blog - I want one.
Can you pack up your shapely arms and ship those to me as well?
That is super cute! Great job!
Great job! It is so cute. Now I am really getting inspired to dust off my sewing machine.
You look awesome in it too. But yea...I feel you on the boobie issue :) I am never without a bra. LOL
Haha. Thanks for noticing the year of his birth being off. I was very excited and it was late :) I updated...LOL
To be even more crazy he was born on 1/20 at 1:20 in room 120.
That turned out way cute!! I have to be honest, the first thing I noticed was your arms. They look awesome!
