You know, making something creative and difficult is both enthralling and frustrating at the same time. It is nice to just make a simple top sometimes.
This is my pattern mash up of the Sneha top (Wardrobe by Me) with the Sophia top (Bella Sunshine Designs). It is a loose knit tunic from a rayon/spandex jersey from Nature’s Fabrics that I purchased last fall. It doesn’t have a nice soft hand, but it has a nice structure and drape to it. I probably wouldn’t buy this fabric type again, just since I like the bamboo jersey and modal better.
I wore this to work with a grey sweater, my new warm Bos boots I purchased on Zulily (fur lining!), a pair of fleece lined leggings and my scarf I made last year. I hadn’t worn it yet, since I did a leather with snaps edge on it that didn’t really match much. I took off the leather and sewed it together with the yarn I still had on hand.
These loom knitted cowls are so nice this time of year. It is freezing out! I have some black to knit up, since *shocker* I don’t have a plain black one. I will have to rectify that…
This week I am hoping to make another top like one I have posted about on Instagram last week. I have some more fabric, so I just need to make adjustments to the pattern, take some pics of the pattern pieces and and get a blog post up. Hopefully by some point this weekend!
