This is my new favorite knit shirt pattern. It is so easy. I did not want to use a double needle stitching at the hem, so I looked up the reviews of this pattern and I took Amanda's version of sewing a band at the sleeve end and at the hem. This way it eliminates the need for any topstitching. I thought with the busy pattern of the fabric it would look to busy. I really like the results.
You can't tell in the pictures but the fabric is navy and light blue. I really needed something navy, and when I found this fabric at Joann's, I fell in live with it. So did a lot of other people, because I bought the last yard.
A view of the back.
close up of the front. You can see the easing at the sides, it should be a bit lower.

I love your top! The shape is very flattering and the print is great. I really like the idea of the band instead of the hem... I'm gonna have to try this- looks great!
ReplyDeleteAnother great top
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out this pattern. It makes a wonderful looking top. I really love the print and the tip for finishing with bands.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very prett top. I haven't seen that fabric at my Jos, but will be looking now! Of course, it's proably all gone. Boo!
ReplyDeleteGreat top! I love the bands in place of the hem and on the sleeves.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of black and white fabric, so you had my attention straight away. This is a very useful pattern - thanks for showing it to us.
