And it's KCW Day 5 today. Right?
And I'm writing a post about sewing for me, again.
I recently had a chance to test an awesome new pattern, Sheer Plaid Top by SergerPepper.
I fell in love with this pattern when I sew this image on Irene's blog post of tester call. I loved the boxy shape and versatality that it could be worn over long sleeve tops.
I chose this mini ruffled sweater knit fabric which I found in JoAnn's remnants rack to sew this top. On the way to finish the top, I thought it might have been a wrong decision to use this fabric for this top. But when I finished, I thought I won :)
It is not so airy, but enough drapy. And of course this can be worn over the turtleneck top. Actually, I am now wearing this top on a black turtleneck sweater.
You can see some other variation of the fabric to make this top on Irene's blog. I was amazed by other testers' creations. Testing process was so much fun.
I will definitely make another version of this top for upcoming warmer season.
Irene released this pattern today and she's offering this for only $2.90! So, go grab the pattern and sew as many variations as you can imagine :)
Thanks, Irene! And Happy Sewing, everyone!
Thanks Shino for your lovely testing and the shout out!
I really love your fabric choice, texture and color: they perfectly match with this boxy shape!
