Back on November 15th, I posted a couple of trims for this top and asked for your input. If I counted correctly the leather won 12 to 6.
So leather it is. I went with my Renfrew pattern this time, just adding width to the body, shoulders and arms.
I marked the center front of my shirt and put the trim 3/4" off of center front. I was worried about the horizontal piece across the front. I wanted it high enough, I think this is a good placement.
A bit darker photo, but wanted to show off my decorated front door.
This top is more fitted and I like the look of this pattern.
Now I think I have enough luxe sweatshirts for now. Onto my next Mood Sewing Network project.

Here is a picture lightened up a bit so you can see the trim. I went with much fewer strips of trim but it looks fabulous with the gray ponte from Joann's (leftover from this project)

Your top is as beautiful as the $500-$700 original posted on N-A-P. I recently ordered the renfrew. The red, white, and blue door theme is nice. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I appreciate you comment. You will love the Renfrow. Also, thanks for the comment on my door, I love the color combination
DeleteOooh, this is so fun! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteI think the leather trim looks great! I agree that the horizontal trim is just high enough. I really need to get my Renfrew pattern out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shar and yes, get your Renfrew out, it is so fun.
DeleteLori what an inspirational piece. It really makes me want to COPY so I need to start looking for some leather trim. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faye, it is a quick top and I was surprised at all the choices at Joann's.
DeleteI adore this, Lori! I need to get cracking on some Luxe sweatshirts. Good idea to use the Renfrew pattern.
