I just finished this a couple of days ago. At first I was hestitant about the fabric but after wearing it today, all is good. Knit/lycra blend from fabric.com. This picture isn't the best, the stomach area of the shirt looks, well, poochy. It lies flat and has great lines, but the fabric is a heavier lycra blend and I think that makes the gathers not so soft and flowy. Or it means more sit-ups and running for me!!
I have made this a couple of times before, the best one, no picture of that on my blog. Here is the original one garment
We are doing some remodeling, opening up a wall between rooms. So the contractor is sanding sheetrock right now. Guess what I will be doing in an hour or so? Cleaning is right! In the background of my picture, you can see paint samples. That is my project over the weekend, lots of painting.
Also, new hair look. I am going with my natural curls, why not, easy to fix and the twins tell me I look younger. That really is the deciding factor.
You look great and slim. :-) Do enjoy your remodeling.
ReplyDeleteI bought that CJ pattern at ASG with you! Still have yet to make it.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I like the curls. I'm not fighting my curls any more either.
Great top to go with fabulous curls!

ReplyDeleteGreat top--love the necklace too!
ReplyDeletethat top looks great and I love the colour. Go the curls too!
ReplyDeleteYour top looks wonderful on you...and your hair is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThis top looks fabulous on you, Lori. Light blue is a great color for you. I made this top for my daughter for Christmas out of a mid-weight felted wool jersey. I tried it on and it hid at least some of my less attractive parts. Did you find the sleeves to be a bit wide?
