When Victory is $4

So I found a super soft rayon jersey remnant in the bin at my local fabric store - you know the one, it rhymes with Schmoschmans.  It was 50%, and I figured that was cheap enough for an experiment - I desperately wanted to make a batwing sleeve top for one of my girls.

I hate drafting patterns, but I wanted the batwing sleeve top more...

So this is what happened:

The neckline is a little janky - I sewed it while comforting a toddler on my lap, but she still payed me the ultimate preschooler compliment by refusing to take it off!   A small price to pay for overcoming an irrational fear, wouldn't you say?

Have a happy weekend!
