I’ve worn my first Ruby about 4 times already since I made it. So I sewed up another… This time however, I decided to take it up a notch.
Literally.
The fabric is from Joann, and it’s one I always stopped to look at and never bought… Glad I finally did! It’s quilting cotton (Denyse Schmidt), so it’s not quite as soft and light as my last Ruby. As for the notch, I should’ve added a little interfacing before sewing that, since after a day of wear it sort of starts to flap on one side, but I like it anyway!
Happy Spring Top Sewalong-ing!

I love it…and the take it up a notch thing killed me. I’m so glad you’re in my (virtual) world. 🙂 I really do love both of these tops. The notch is a great detail. (I also love your necklaces) Let’s never sew for the kids again. Juuuust kidding. Kind of.
Love this one too! The notch detail looks great. I’m a big fan of the Denyse Schmidt line. She has such pretty designs it’s too bad they don’t come in apparel fabrics.
OMGosh Erin, adorable! You and the shirt ;), much Love!

thanks lisa! 🙂
Love that floral! I’m always tempted by the DS fabrics at Joann’s too. Glad you gave in because it’s perfect for the Ruby.
Oh, thanks Brooke! I seriously eyed this fabric for the last 6 months… I needed it bad. 🙂
This is amazing…I seriously bought this exact same fabric from Joann about a month ago, and my intention was to sew it up into a Ruby top! 🙂 After making my first Ruby top, I decided it doesn’t look the best on my figure, so I’ll probably use a different pattern for my top. I love yours, though, and it looks great on you!
ya know, the ruby is a tricky one. I currently have no boobs (thanks kids!) which is why I think it’s flattering on me… but, I could see why this wouldn’t work fro everyone. -e
Yes, that’s exactly why it didn’t look great on me! I’m currently a 32G (after 5 kids), and I’m also only 5’2″. So, yeah, not totally flattering on me. 🙂
These tops are gorgeous Erin – love this pattern and your fabric choices!!
It looks great!
thank becky!
Oh I love the notch! Very cute. Must copy.
This really suits you Erin! Love the fabric.
thanks so much Laura!
Pretty! And it’s nice to see you making something for yourself 🙂
