<\/p>\n

This was my very first time working on a project using eyelet embroidery, and I have to say, the idea came to me quite naturally: this season, openwork fabrics are absolutely everywhere! Whether it\u2019s tops, dresses in crochet, lace, or embroidery, they\u2019re a major trend in stores. Feminine, elegant, and light, they instantly add a fresh touch to any summer outfit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I came across this black and white fabric<\/a> with scalloped edges \u2014 both graphic and delicate \u2014 it was love at first sight. And as soon as I found this top pattern<\/a>, featuring fabric ties instead of traditional buttons, I knew it would be the perfect project to highlight the beauty of the embroidery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A light and feminine design<\/h3>\n

The McCalls #M8557 pattern<\/a> originally offers a peplum cut with puff sleeves \u2014 very pretty \u2014 but I preferred to adapt it to my style by opting for a straight, blouse-like cut. My biggest hesitation was choosing between short sleeves or sleeveless. After trying both versions, the sleeveless style won me over. To create a clean finish around the arms, I added a black bias binding around the armholes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Creative ties suited for eyelet fabric<\/h3>\n

The ties were supposed to be easy to make, but with my openwork fabric, turning tiny fabric strips right side out turned into quite the challenge! I ended up using a method I like for making belt loops: folding the fabric wrong sides together, then folding each edge towards the centre, just like making bias tape, before topstitching close to the edge. This way, the ties came out neat, strong, and perfectly suited to this kind of fabric.<\/p>\n

I briefly considered using store-bought ribbon to make things easier, but in the end, I\u2019m happy I stuck with the original fabric \u2014 it keeps the whole look much more cohesive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Showcasing the scalloped edge<\/h3>\n

When you work with a fabric that has a beautiful scalloped border, you really want to make the most of it! I carefully positioned the embroidered edge at strategic places \u2014 like at the hem of the top \u2014 to create a natural, finished look without needing to sew a traditional hem.<\/p>\n

When cutting, instead of following a straight line as usual, I carefully followed the curves of each scallop to preserve the charm of the embroidery. It takes a bit more patience, but it\u2019s definitely worth it: the scalloped edge adds a sophisticated touch without any extra finishing work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A perfect summer top<\/h3>\n

The rest of the sewing process went very smoothly. This top will easily find a place in my summer wardrobe: perfect paired with white jeans, linen shorts, or even worn open over a swimsuit with a sarong on vacation.<\/p>\n

Long live eyelet embroidery! If you\u2019re tempted to give it a try, go for it \u2014 there are so many beautiful colours and patterns out there, perfect for creating a unique, lightweight, and charming piece for the sunny season.<\/p>\n
