I wanted to make a puffy top, sleeveless with a raglan cut, a noted collar and a hipster belt.
I wanted to used fabric covered buttons, however I didn't know how to do and Oxford late Kings Fabrics didn't have any.
I went free-styling since I had no patterns. Felicity helped me a lot.
The noted collar didn't work in the end because of its too wide width, the bow was crushing the fabric. The sleeves, more precisely the armscye were a lot harden than I expected. I ended up stitching them by hand....I'm fast with scissors and a sewing machine, hand stitching takes a looong time.
I got stuck when I tried to assembled the collar and the belt since the base pattern was a big square bag hanging from my neck. To avoid making a big mistake, I patiently folder this project and started other things.
Since I nearly finished my red summer dress, I started again. The result is not perfect but it looks pretty good.
I could have covered the buttons with the gold fabric, however it would have detracted from the sun pattern.

The embroided sun was difficult. It was worth it.
Collar's buttons
Tadaaaaaam
