Sizing: 8 to 22
Instructions: Very thorough and informative, this pattern is a Palmer and Pletsch pattern. They are great teachers and have shared much information in this pattern.
Likes/Dislikes: I seem to be drawn to draped cowl neck patterns lately. I thought I would give this one a try. Plus, thanks to Lynne, I have been using Cabi for inspiration. The striped top in the middle was my inspiration

Fabric: A jersey knit from Gorgeous Fabrics
Changes: well, lots. I omitted the gathers at the waistline. I did not line it or use a zipper.
Conclusion: After completing this garment, I decided this pattern wasn't for me. There were several other drape patterns I like better. Then I looked at the pictures and decided maybe this wasn't as bad as I thought. I like an ITY or rayon knit would be better for the pattern, it drapes nicer
with my Simplicity Cynthia Rowley jacket I made last summer
Oh my goodness, I love your new top. It looks great with your simplicity jacket.
ReplyDeleteGreat tshirt! It looks so good made up in stripes and goes well with your CRowley jacket too!
ReplyDeleteA perfect summer tee!
ReplyDeleteI really like this top and your CR jacket looks great. I really should make that jacket! I liked yours when I first saw it. Great combo. Thanks for mentioning Cabi site, I am always looking for new inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI see nothing amiss with your top. It looks fine, in fact. And, the total outfit, with the jacket is really cute. Love that jacket!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great. In fact, I would even consider making two or three.......... :)
ReplyDeleteThat top paired with the jacket is FABULOUS! I want one, too.
ReplyDeleteI think this looks fabulous - I really like the neckline, especially in that striped fabric!
ReplyDeleteOh do give this a chance. The photos show a very nice top.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I think the pattern looks great on you:)
ReplyDeleteI love you top. It suits you and it looks very nice on you.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks very nice. Great stripe work.
ReplyDeleteI just bought some rayon stripped knit for Judy and I have this pattern I think I'll make it up. You look good in this top.
ReplyDeleteYou know what, Lori? I have referenced that SAME top in my notebook! When I first saw it on Cabi, I loved it. I've been searching and searching for a pattern with that type of draping, and even wondering if I could figure it out myself. Your version is really cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the top - cowl/drapey necklines are Fab! I also really like your jacket - I have the same pattern, but have been a bit stuck for fabrics so far.
