Tilly's new top pattern has given me the bug to make some knit tops and dresses. I haven't bought the pattern (because I already have some similar ones), but I anxiously await to see what she releases next. If you do find yourself in need of a top pattern, give hers a try. I've read nothing but good things about it.
Aaaaaanyway, this is what I whipped up the other day in about an hour while The Great British Sewing Bee kept buffering. I decided to use my raglan pattern, Vogue 8670, which I used for a tunic once before.
The only change I made from the pattern was to widen the neckline about an inch and add a roll neck. I would have liked it a bit taller (a la Tilly's) but didn't have any larger piece of fabric left. I cut it on the bias in hopes that it would lay flat and it does! I assumed I'd have to tack it down in a few places, but it behaves itself nicely. :-)
The fabric is a beefy rayon/poly jersey from JoAnn's with the tiniest bit of sparkle. I really like the weight of this for a nice tee, and I do like a bit of orange in my life.
