There is a center back seam on the yoke and I did a good job matching the navy stripes. I got off a bit on the lighter stripes.
Another reason I like this top is the way you can use two great fabrics. I went with these two fabrics from Girl Charlee
I bought a couple of yards of the navy/cream gingham but decided I only needed to use it as an accent

Two changes I am going to make next time I make this one. Add a couple inches to the front pattern piece for sure. The other change, I am going to pinch out a dart on the side, you see that wrinkle at the bust? Right there, pinch that out and match it to the sleeve. I seem to have this issue on many knit tops and I am going to see if this helps.
My big smile means another go-to, easy-to-wear knit top.


This is another nice shirt. I love those quick, knit tops! I'm amazed at how much sewing you get done while your house is being renovated!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rose, the quick tops are so rewarding.

DeleteNope not tired of the Tee reviews. Love the reviews because someday I hope to be motivated to sew for myself again.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that, Jodena, I love to make tees!
DeleteVery cute. Love the fabric combination.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tomasa. The gingham is just plain fun
DeleteThe fabric combination is what makes this top sing!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Carolyn, the gingham puts it over the top
DeleteI like this. Did you lay the back yoke on the bias? It looks like you did but can't tell for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern piece is on the bias for the back seam
