MOT #8

I loved the two tops that Sheila made from this pattern (Simplicity 2850) and had to give it a try. I love the colors in this fabric and have a necklace that has exactly the same colors that I will wear with it. I made a shortened version on view A also, tapered the sleeves and added a simple hem rather than use the elastic as the pattern called for. I had a wee problem getting the neckband flat, but figure it was something I did wrong in cutting - I will rectify that glinch next time because I do plan on using this pattern again.

P.S. It does my heart good each time I see a new post with a brand new design. Only 7 more days left in the Month of Tops Sew-a-Long. Many thanks for all who have participated so far.

  1. Lovely top and lovely fabric.
    I have made 2 tops so far ... lol but haven't taken pictures.
    They are both from the same pattern.

  2. I love the colors - very pretty top. When I stitch the neckband to the neckline I start at least 1/2+ from the raw edges and it allows the neckband to lay flat.
