Insecure about crop tops? When I saw this pattern I knew it would be a semi crop top but I didn’t think much of it. I usually stay away from crop tops because I am insecure about my mid section. Yes I should embrace my mom bod but easier said than done when mom comparison lurks often. You have the mom’s with 7 kids and super flat bellies…I can’t lie… I WANT THAT Too….sigh….Anyways, I combatted that with some amazing high waist Jeans… I love them, love the tummy control and my post baby pouch didn’t stick out as much. Do you struggle like me? let me know in the comments. How do you combat that insecurity?
Pattern Review
Pattern Description: Misses’Beverly McCall’s Surplice Top M8145
Pattern Sizing: I chose size 14 View B
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? It did
Were the instructions easy to follow? 😀 I didn’t read the instructions.. I followed the pictures and they were fairly easy to follow
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? So I love the look and the variations of the pattern. I also love that this is pretty much the top of Vogue 1735 pattern. I was a tad bit worried that the top would be more of a crop top but I figured I could wear this with some high waist mom jeans to hide my mom belly 😀
Fabric Used: I used a spacer/ scuba knit from Joann but I believe its sold out.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shortened the sleeve because I didn’t have enough fabric also because of how thick the fabric was I did single layers
Would you sew it again? Yes, I need a few more of these in all variations
