Another Cowl Neck item 4 for KL

This was a lovely quick top to run up to take away with me tomorrow.

When Sigrid, Clare and I were at the showing show last weekend we purchased this beautiful jersey knit that has spandex in it.  The fabric felt wonderful to the touch, and promised to drape well for this style of top.

I am wearing it here with a very old Italian Marella suit, which has a classic timeless style.

I have a little of the fabric left over, not enough for a 2nd cowl neck, but probably a simple vest or camisole.

Both Sigrid and I purchased this fabric (in different colour ways) and based on how well this sewed up, I can't wait to sew the other fabric.

Now for my next item.

Catch you later

  3. Have just learned of your blog and have bookmarked it. You are a fantastic sewer and I look foward to learning from you. Top looks great. Wonder what pattern number/Company it is from. Always looking for a cowl top that isn't too low and fits great.

    1. thank you for your lovely comments. This pattern is from a magazine called Prima (from the UK). It is one of their free patterns. This is becoming a TNT for me.
