New Look 6648

I have made this top several times, it is one of Erin's favorites and mine, too.
You can check the past blog posts:
Pink floral version (Erin's)
black and white geometric version (mine)
blue stripe version  (Erin's)
first version (mine)

See a pattern here?

Well, time for another one for Erin, I used the wrapped version this time, with the large butterfly type sleeves.  She picked out a fabulous knit from Fabric Mart (purchased quite some time ago, influenced by Carolyn!)

The fabric is sheer, so a cami will be needed.
Used a solid black knit for the binding.


love the back - the fabric is so dramatic

  9. That is stunning! I wish I had purchased that fabric too. I'm planning on making this for the first time in red for a Valentine's gift for my daughter. Hope mine turns out half as nice as yours!

  16. A very good design for that fabric. I have that fabric, and can't decide how to use it. It's interesting how you put the border print in the center of the garment and made a border from the yellow part.

  18. Nice top! You are right, the back is very dramatic. I have that pattern that I have yet to make up. Wow, this will be number 5 for you, it really must be a winner. I have that fabric too, although mine is still sitting patiently in my stash and I've not thought of a pattern for it yet. Yellow is my favorite color!
