I had very good intentions to make a new Amuse Boho top for this blog tour. Unfortunately, before I knew it, it was May 10th and my newest Amuse Boho was still just a pile of fabric. But, I'll be posting my photos of it soon.
The Amuse Boho works great with many fabrics. You can use a knit or woven. I made this one with a cotton voile.
The center front yoke and optional back yoke give you the opportunity to showcase a contrasting fabric. In this case, I used a beautiful imported fabric from my lovely sewing friend (Sneha at Sewing Curves) that she brought back from India.
I love the relaxed fit. The gathers are wonderful and it's very important to iron them as flat as possible before sewing them to the yoke to prevent them from billowing out giving the appearance of a maternity top.
This Amuse Boho, I made with a poly/rayon blend woven which gave the top a much more flowy appearance.
My yoke on this one is a cotton woven with a lace overlay. I absolutely LOVE how this turned out - but the multiple layers did make it a little more challenging to get my neckline to lay smooth and flat. It's very important to use bias tape made with your fabric - the store bought bias tape does not sufficient stretch and is way too stiff to give a clean finish.
My friend Bryan Zumbar took these photos for me. These were taken all over the downtown McKinney, Texas main square.
He took so many great photos - that it was so hard to narrow it down to just a few.
