Kwik Sew 4188

Knowing British Summers, after all the nice warm weather we have been having, it seemed sensible to make a comfortable long sleeved stretch top. I liked the wrap around detail on this one. The fabric is from Minerva, and as I wear jeans a lot, I liked the denim-like colour of this. It was only when it arrived that I noticed it had camels on it. The wrap around detail is attached at the neck edge, which forms nice neat edge. It took me a while to work out which side was facing which to sew together, especially at the shoulder seam. The ruching at the side looks good. If I make this again, I would need to do something to stop the wrap around bit folding up at the edge. I guess with plain fabric, the same colour on the back as the front, it will be less noticeable when it happens, but I find myself constantly adjusting it when wearing it.
