Layne Dolman – Liviality

Layne is part of this month’s capsule at Petite Stitchery and available for only $4 until the end of the month.

It’s such a cute and fast sew. A true must-have!

I’m a big fan of a good Dolman top.
It’s such an easy and fast sew, gotta love that!

Layne has 3 length options: Crop, Top and Tunic and the choice of 2 sleeves: Short (banded) or Long (cuffed), and the fun thing about it is that it’s easy to mix and match lengths for a hi-lo top.

I used a quilted FT for mine and love how structured it is.
I chose to make it short sleeved and used the crop length for the front and the top length for the back.

It’s kind of like a mullet top! ha!

A little before quarantine started I got myself a Cricut machine and discovered how much I love weeding vinyl and htv.

Cutting and weeding intricate mandala/zentangle designs have been such a great way to relax for me. Now I have a ton of it ready but no concrete use for them… haha

These are just some of them:

This Layne was looking a bit boring, so it was the perfect opportunity to use one of my favorite SVG designs.

This Sunflower Zentanble by True North Images is so pretty!

I used a Holographic HTV from Siser and love how extra it is. 😉

I love the curved hemline of the top and decided to use that and offset the sunflower design and when I saw the leftover piece I thought that it was a waste to throw it away and in an a-ha moment I realized that it fit perfectly around the neckline. 😀

I’m so IN LOVE with how this turned out! <3

I had so many plans to make all the Layne Dolmans as humanly possible, but somehow July got away from me.

July is usually a bit busy due to the last weeks of school, and we have 3 important birthdays and our anniversary all close to each other. But this year things just overwhelmed me more than usual…
