A Little Bit of Crochet and Sewing

This was a project I had in mind from January this year. The skirt was ankle length and I cut it to knee length. The piece I cut out off the skirt is going to be a matching top, with a bit of crochet to finish it off nicely.

I was initially going to have the piece doubled, but it was a bit too short. So now I am going to cut it in two and sew one piece on top of the other.

I did not have much of a yarn choice and this was the closest match I had on hand.

This is the top piece sewn with one piece on top of the other.

I have crocheted an exact copy, from the top of the tank top I

had just made. Being fresh in my memory it was too easy.
Here I am making a gather at the upper part of the top, so I can sew it to my crocheted piece.

Just making a quick size comparison here.

Here you go, my crocheted piece sewn on with shoulder straps too. I left the shoulder straps to last, to ensure it would fit me.

The matching top and skirt.

A closer look at the top.

I purchased this skirt from the op shop for a couple of dollars. All in all I would say I now have a cheap and trendy out fit.

My New Tank Top

I used a variegated acrylic yarn, it took 250 gms of yarn to make.

The Tank is made with hdc, the pattern I used is called the Preppy Tank from Crochet Today Sept/Oct 2007. It is made a little on the loose side to wear in Spring and Summer with a singlet top underneath. I found it a tad too short, so I added a fringe to give it a little more length.

I really like the stitch pattern used at the top of the tank.

I'm already onto my next Spring/Summer top, it's a project I wanted to do last year.

Please Note:
ALL Row Counts at this web site are done for the Afghan/Tunisian Stitch. ALL of these row counts can be converted for single crochet by reversing every other row to allow for the turning of the afghan.
