#3 & 4 MOT

NL6838 is my third top for the sew-a-long. This is what I wrote on my blog: knit has gold diagonal lines. I've had this fabric in my stash for over nine years. This was very easy to make and I chose View B with elbow length sleeves. There is a center back seam. This may be an out of print pattern.

B5260 a knit print, View A. This took about two hours, if that, to sew up last night. When I first came across B5375 a See&Sew pattern, I really liked the top. Since those are never on sale, I searched to see if one of their regular patterns was similar. I found 5260 with exactly the same line drawing and description etc. So I buy it at one of the 99 cent sales. This top is made from a knit from stash. It is an a-lined, pullover with topstitched hems. The top has several neckline variations to choose from. I might make this one again and I highly recommend it.

Just over a week left in the month and I hope to complete the tops planned on my list. I'm having a good time. Good luck to everyone.
