Another top – Simplicity 4228
Wow, I’m really getting loads of tops made! Instead of being paralysed by indecision about “which pattern, which fabric” I am trying to make quick decisions about both and just go for it. These are all cheap stash fabrics (this one is from the Darn Cheap Fabrics $2 per metre table again), and are a great way to try out new designs. This one is Simplicity 4228, view A.
It looks better on (I think):
Clare took the photos of me wearing it, so they’re from a strange angle – the height of a four year old – but they give you the idea!
I like the yoke detail with the little bit of gathering and the top-stitching.
Once again, very comfy, quite a nice fit, and easy to get on. And quick to sew! There does seem to be a little bit of a drag mark from the armholes to the yoke, so I’ll probably fine-tune the fit before I make another. The pattern has a version with a short puffed sleeve, and there is a nice waistcoat/vest as well.
Love the fabric and the top Lara – what a great buy for $2/metre. WOW you really are pumping them out. Your label also looks great on all your tops – very professional looking.
i really like that style of shirt!! i think i will have to try that one!!!!
This shirt is my favorite so far. I love the print and colors and I think it looks great on!
