Teardrop Leaves

Here's another top that I ended up doing some surgery on because the striped cotton was starting to look pretty worn out. I wanted to preserve the white embroidery detailing so I replaced the torso using scrap fabrics I had on hand.
Original Top



The leaves are actually the final remnants of the fabric I used for the cloth book and elephant projects that I posted about below.  The top turned out nicely but if I were to do it all again I would have bought nicer fabric for the cream torso. Instead the scrap cotton I used is on the thin side and wrinkles too easily which is no good for dress-length tops!
