So instead, my first new top for next term at work is...
...the fairly popular KwikSew 3915 long sleeved top. The feature neck detail grabbed my attention, as did the higher back neckline - the winter winds are blowing here! Though it is difficult to see the neck feature with this print - see, I just can't see 'me' wearing this all-over!
Head over to my blog at made by J to read about my thoughts on this top. All good in the end, but the old quick-unpick did make a cutting appearance as I modified the pattern!
I have plans on making another one, as the fit is perfect on me with the higher neckline. It sits smoothly under a jacket and perfect for matching with a number of bottoms.
Next up on my list is trying Vogue 8721 - for no other reason than I really like the look of View D!
doesn't it seem there's cute cloths everywhere since we signed up? lol! we're going on a dolphin cruise in a few weeks so looks like I've got some sewing to do lol!, you've chooen some great patterns, happy sewing!

I love the top you made. And I'm doing the sew-your-own -clothes-challenge and I can't believe how much money I've saved. I may just have to treat myself to a good sewing machine when this is over (the year is over that is, I may just keep up the challenge...)
ReplyDeleteIt is a smart top Judith, great for work, wash and wear I think, but still smart :)
