Well, here is my new top! I made this pretty much during the weekend. I wore it yesterday (Monday). I think I cut it out on Thursday or Friday. The pattern is a mish-mash of a few patterns in my stash. I won't call it my own, but it was my vision. I really like the crossed front style. I think it's really flattering, that is if the bottom section is form-fitting and not maternity-style.
Here's a close-up of the front bands. I machine-sewed them to the front, and then hand finished the reverse side. I put some light weight interfacing in the curved band on the top to stabilize it. I didn't interface the middle band since I didn't have any knit interfacing on hand.
Here you can see the bottom edge on the body and sleeves isn't sewn on. It's just the border of the fabric.
I got this beautiful knit from
Gorgeous Fabrics. I think this knit is sold out, but they have so many other great ones!
