I kind of feel like blogging about this is cheating, but whatever. This blog documents my handmade things, and I made this basic tee shirt. :-) This is the Idyllwild Top by Itch to Stitch. The fabric is this wool blend knit from Gorgeous Fabrics. I have made this top once before with a very different fabric and the higher neckline. I like how different these tops are in style!
I pre-washed my fabric, but it still shrunk up in the length a bit after washing the finished top. I kind of wish I had done the shirttail hem I am so fond of lately, but oh well, this is a great basic that I have been wearing often.
I really like the wool blend jersey. It's a bit see-through, so a tank is a must, but it is not scratchy at all. It just looks like a great casual, drapey tee. The bag shown in the first photo above is my recent Market Bag and the pants are Simplicity 1696.
Such a pretty colour!
ReplyDeleteThe heathered pink is very pretty on you. I have more luck with merino jersey than when I have used wool jersey. My wool jersey top shrunk like crazy! :(
