I can see why you are so proud.  I wish her much success in her design career.

Hi @LilacTree Your granddaughter is beautiful, as is the top she designed and sewed.

Wishing her all the best in her career.

That is great @LilacTree! That style is really popular right now too. I need a kid/grandchild who makes clothing!

She is working very hard.  She is very much a "city girl" and loves this profession.  She also wants to work in some way where she will always be able to sew her own prototypes.

How wonderful!  It covers the part of the arm a lot of folks don't like, plus it could made to fit larger women too!

Something for a lot of different sizes.

I am a huge fan of Project Runway and I think Tim Gunn would say, "She made it WORK!"

@LilacTree I'll bet your buttons are just bustin' out all over!!!

Well I don't do buttons anymore, but my zippers are all poppin'!!

Maybe the top could work better if the side sleeves were elasticized?  I will ask her when she comes.  She is the only woman in my entire family who loves sewing as I did.  None of my daughters were ever interested.  However when making clothes, I always used patterns, never tried designing them myself (except Halloween costumes).

Your family must be very proud.  I am an older lady.  I like her top better than the one made by a long time professional that I am watching on the Q right now.

@LilacTreeelastic sounds like a good idea if there is a restriction problem.
Or "cotton/span"  like they talk about!HA!
