ENDING WITH A TWIST...

November flew by it proved to be a wonderfully productive sewing month. I wanted to end this years Month of Tops sew-a-long with a twist - another twisted neckband tee that is. I used a light weight poly knit with my TNT pattern New Look 6735. I came up with idea of doubling the twisted neckband as a contrast. Initially, I started with a neckband cut on the fold and folded in half, but I thought it was too light weight - so I took a chance and doubled the fabric. I actually like the contrast in weight of the neckline versus the body of the garment. I also like the look of the twisted neckline on a solid fabric.

So here is MOT #14.


This has been an enjoyable sewing experience, especially since some really talented fellow bloggers joined in with me. So, a special "THANK YOU" to Ebony for encouraging me to do a month of tops again this year. And, a special "THANK YOU" to all who joined in to give a little boost to their wardrobes with some extra tops. EVERY ONES WORK WAS SO INSPIRING!!!, and I can't tell you how much I really VALUE my fellow bloggers - those who participated as well as those who looked on. Setting this up was a new experience for me - but so enjoyable.

This blog will continue for a while, so if anyone still wants to post tops, please feel free to do so...

  1. I really need to try this twisted neckline on a top. I think the doubled fabric was the right touch.
