Cold shoulder tops 2017 & 18

I had bought this first fabric a while back with no idea what to make with it (for a change!), but wanted to make something I could wear all the time. I love the sewing machines on it etc. I found this pattern which I thought was simple and stylish!

It is okay, but the wrong choice of fabric for the type of top. Doesn’t hang quite right. So I made another a year later with a jersey fabric which is better.

There are only 5 pattern pieces, including the sleeves and neck binding, so it is really simple to construct though. This second version, because it is a knit fabric, was sewn mainly on the overlocker, except the neck binding, and the hem, which is just zigzaged.

I will definitely make this again 🙂
