So I pulled this pattern out for a fourth time, cut it out and went to sewing, the fabric was from Needle Nook, my latest shipment to land at my door. I was suppose to meet Anne (Needle Nook owner) on Wednesday. She was passing through my area, returning home after teaching out east. She calls me at work and usually I can get off and meet her, but not this Wednesday. Talk about disappointing, I had my new top on and everything!
I did get pictures before I went to work, not great pictures. The details of this top are so nice in this pattern. Gathered neckline, wide neckband, great sleeves. So here is the line drawing.

I made the sleeves from the dress with the elastic. I took pictures with the sleeves up and down, but my photographer cut off the sleeves when they were down! Cute either way, I will add a bit of length next time I make the long sleeve version.
Here it is, doesn't photograph the best in a print but this is a very flattering knit top. Just look at the built in shaping at the waist in the line drawing.

ReplyDeleteLori, you look great in your new top! This colour works very well with your complexion - you are radiant.
ReplyDelete(I'm considering buying this top too, after seeing your wonderful results with it!)
Cute top! I think that pattern would make a beautiful LBD !
ReplyDeleteSigh. Now why can't my knit tops turn out as great as yours?!
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo cute! I have eyed that pattern for a while - guess I'll be getting that one at the next sale too. You're such an enabler. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed "meeting" you and just contacted Needle Nook for fabric suggestions.
