Zenith & Quasar Round 41 Ocean

Yesterday was my birthday and since we are in the middle of a pandemic, there was no party and no going out to eat a birthday meal. I was happy to spend the day in my sewing room making myself something instead of sewing masks. I just received two beautiful prints from Zenith  & Quasar for the Ocean Round and was able to make myself two new tops. Here is the first one.

This print is the Sequin Scales. It is absolutely gorgeous and photos just do not do it justice. The sequin effect is very realistic with beautiful shading of colors. I'm hoping Lilly will run a few more color variations because I definitely need more.

I sewed up the super soft athletic brushed poly. This round is also available on Yoga Swim Spandex (YSS) and a stretch woven board short. I think I need these Sequin Scales on YSS for leggings.

Since it was my Birthday, I felt a bit extra and decided to make the Greenstyle Studio to Street (STS) Top with the V-neck front and the V-back. I was a little intimidated by the v-back construction, but love the finished product. I'll definitely be making more. I did the normal v-back , but there's also a deep v-back as well.

I used the Supplex 2.0 Navy for the bands on my STS top. Supplex is my favorite for bands. It has great stretch & recovery, never fade or wears out. My pants are also made out  of Supplex, but are the older navy that was offered previously. There are so many shaded of blue & green  in this print that matching a solid to it is easy.

The Studio to Street is one of my favorite patterns. I can make one with  just a yard of fabric. The relaxed fit is so comfortable. It also has so many options. I love the short sleeve version with the high low hem and the v-neck front. I normally do a crew neck back, but will make a few more v-back versions. You can also do a front crew neck as well. One thing I will skip on my neck v-back is the top-stitching after adding the bands. I didn't top stitch anywhere else, so that looks odd to me.

The Ocean Round at Zenith & Quasar will close on May 15th! Below are the other beautiful designs available.
