When Isabel met Alice :: Sewing and Embroidery ::

Wednesday 28 October 2015


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.

  4. It's a beautiful top Nat! Your cross stitch is perfect! I used waste canvas on a top once! I remember it being a fun project and it became a favourite top in my wardrobe! Hopefully this one will for you too...
