Well this is a first! I’ve made one of my first Make Nine projects and that is the Closet Core Cielo Top within a week of publishing my #makenine2021 plans!
I went with option B and used fabric that I bought from Sister Mintaka.
The fabric is Viscose Twill and is a wonderful medium-light weight and features illustrations of famous mid century architecture. It’s now (no surprise!) Sold out. It does come in a white version aswell but I think it’s all gone unfortunately!
It’s lovely to work with and it really suits the Cielo Top.
The Cielo top is part of the Rome Collection from Closet Core Patterns. The Pietra Trousers and the Fiore Skirt also are part of this collection.
Closet Core patterns now have a bigger size and it comes in two size brackets, 0-20 and 14-30. It’s more inclusive size wise.
The Cielo is the second pattern I’ve tried from the new size range and again I’m really happy with the results. I recently did Elodie Wrap Dress which was the first. I’m hoping to try the new Kalle Shirt which was re-released in 14-30 size, earlier in 2020.
Closet Core patterns have great instructions and it was quite easy to follow them.
I love the fit on this top. I graded from a 22 bust to a 28 hip. I used the size 22 sleeve. This top really suits this twill.
I’m already thinking of trying version A and C once I’ve got a few other make nine projects under my belt.
So yes, I’m super happy with the result and looking forward to matching some of my fabrics from the stash with future Cielos!
Thank you for reading, happy sewing and Stay Safe xx
