If I like a pattern, I tend to use it over and over again. That is Sewaholic's Renfrew shirt, I have made several garments from this pattern.
I recently purchased this Mood Fabrics' red and black abstract matte jersey and thought it was perfect for the Renfrew.
The Renfrew fits so well and it is quick to sew, which at the time I just needed to sew something.
Here is the shirt layered with a black long sleeve tshirt underneath (trying to implement some of the things Ella taught me)
It is great like this but I layered it up just a bit for our wonderful 50 degree Sunday (as I type this it is 0 degrees Monday evening).
With a cream cardigan
I took off the belt for a day out with my mom, the belt just looked funny. The sweater was perfect for the pretty day but most of the time I will wear it just like this
I have some red ponte to make a cardigan/jacket which is a way down my sewing stack. I think the red ponte jacket will look good with my houndstooth dress from a couple days ago.
You make the best garments! i loveyour style.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I am trying to do a better job about sewing garments that I will wear in my daily life.
DeleteYou have convinced me I need to get this pattern. I have loved every rendition you have made. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa, it is a great pattern. Just takes one time, to get the fit just right for you and then after that so quick to sew.
DeleteOhooo stop it already. There is no catching up with you at the pace you crank out these beautiful garments. Beautiful top Lori!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faye, it feels so good to get some sewing done.
DeleteOh, this is CUTE!
ReplyDeleteI love the print. The Renfrew is a great pattern. It looks fabulous on you! I definitely think it should count for Jungle January.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura, I like the print and it is fun to be part of the Jungle January.
DeleteThis looks great! I thought you had done longer, contrasting cuffs, but how fun to layer it on top of a solid shirt!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is fun to layer and with this winter sometimes a necessity!
DeleteLove the print! I really like that you layered the black t which is a great idea, I'm going to borrow to help transition some of my spring sewing to wear now!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joen, a lesson I learned from Ella - layering!
DeleteI love how you use the old patterns! I am just getting into sewing, and have found lots of patterns at thrift stores, and can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteThanks, this is a newer released pattern but I have made ti many times. Have fun with your pattern finds.
DeleteLovely yop and such a pretty print.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheila, it is a great print
DeleteI love this top! Apparently, I missed your initial post of this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Levone, it is a fun print and as you can tell I love this pattern.
