Tara- altered and refashioned
Do you remember i asked you a week or so ago for some pattern alteration help? Well, i changed Tara to have spaghetti straps instead of the flutter sleeves the pattern calls for and i added a crochet doily across the bust area to 'cover the girls'!
Read more about how i made this top here.
And see my 'How-to' here.
Next i'm going to be altering Celestina. Other than extending the waistline (wink) do you have any other suggestions of how it could be altered? Leave a comment and i'll show you what i come up with next Monday.
Wow, that was a great redo. Lovin' the bodice.

Your alteration to Tara is an improvement over the original design, in my opinion. The straps definitely look better than the flutter sleeves.
Congratulations! What exciting news to hear that you're expecting.
Love the new look on your blog. It looks great.

Wow, lots of preggos in blog land.
Congratulations. I love the names of your girls so I look forward to reading what this one will be called.
Great idea to use the doily to cover your boobs. I looked like Jordan when I was pregnant so I would have probably needed to use a whole tablecloth.
