Happy Wednesday everyone! F-I-N-A-L-L-Y this post is out! Here is my ethical Isabel Marant inspired embroidered top (a bit of a mouthful to be honest). The full tutorial is available on the Offset Warehouse blog. But here are some details...
I used their soft bamboo silk - I loved working with that fabric, and it is even better being worn. The embroidery work is inspired by pins on my embroidery pinterest board - and took f-ing ages, just saying. And finally, the pattern is... yes the Alice Top. I mentioned when I made my first version that it was to check the fitting for another version - and this was it!
I worn this top a few times already. Would I make another top like this again? My brain is saying no way, my crafty heart is thinking that it would be a shame that my many pins and inspiration on pinterest go to waste.
If you use the tutorial, or buy from Offset Warehouse, let me know about your experience! I would love to hear from you.
It's gorgeous! Waw!
