I have made this before here at Pattern Review and blogged here and a white one, blogged here
So here is this one
I used self-fabric to make a neckband. Didn't want to use facings as the pattern instructed, especially on a knit. Plus the top is loose, so the neckband helps to pull the neckline closer to the body.
Love this fabric! It's perfect for the simple shape of the top.
ReplyDeleteI have never sewn with Jalie patterns, but I may need to make that cardigan. It looks like such a wear-with-everything piece.
Seeing this fabric on it's own I probably wouldn't have gave a second look but this top/cardigan is a great look
ReplyDeleteGreat looking top and cardigan
ReplyDeleteCute, and that top looks really nice with the cardi.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Toy about the fabric, but I love the look with the cardi. They look fantastic together.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great together. You are making some great tops lately. You will be ready for the spring. I hope you are going somewhere warm to wear them before spring-or maybe your temps are fine! Great looks Lori!
ReplyDeleteVery cute.....and I am SO making that Jalie cardigan!!!
ReplyDeleteNice use of the fabric. I like the look with the jacket!
ReplyDeletegreat combo. I think I want to make the Jalie cardigan coat (this weight is about all you need in Sydney for winter).
ReplyDeleteI really love the whole combination- the belt is the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteoh! Oh! I really, really like the two together! The Jalie cardigan is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteCute. I have to get on the top making bandwagon. I need them for work.
