So, despite the deer-in-the-headlights expression on my face, this is a 'By George, I think she's got it!' rendition of Vogue 9057, view A, modified slightly into what is now going to be my go-to relaxed fit T.
The fabric is a roll end from EmmaOneSock; I'd meant to make one of the funkier views of that pattern from it but forgot I only had 1 3/8 yards...so view A it was. I cut the sleeves down (well, traced a cut-down version) a bit more into a cap shape and skinnied the neck band by 1/4".
Bingo.
July colors are black, gray and hot pink...the black/gray print top is teamed up with black Lee jeans and my ubiquitous waistcoat from the 05/09 issue of Burda World of Fashion (now Burda Style). The hot pink is once more relegated to accessories.
Just because I wanted to wear the new top.
There's a wild pink fabric on the cutting table...if I can get it cut out and sewn up this week, it'll be on next week's choir post. But plans are still fluid for this week and I don't know that it will happen...we'll see.
IN other news....today happens to be the day that this sweet thing actually turns 20.
We are officially done parenting teenagers.
I'm not sure how I feel about that...
