I did an inventory of my wardrobe and found that nice t-shirts and button downs comprise the majority of my separates. Well, nice to me...I don't actuall have lace ones just test..but that's on the burner.
So, I went to my studio to rectify the problem and this is what I came up with.
another Renfrew. Go figure.
In my own defense, I settled with the fact that this version, view "C" has a cool collar.
... a different sleeve length. Lol.
Does it help that it can be used as a hoodie if I were trying to protect the hair?
After I get my fill of t-shirts and button downs, we shall see where I go from here. I am truly a creature of habit.
In the meantime another button down is in the works... This next one will be in a really luxurious, buttery stretch 4-ply silk.
I have made it already for a Christmas gift and really LOVE it. I used a poly georgette from Hancock.
Until next time, keep sewing.

That is a great Renfrew and you will have so much fun wearing it. After sewing some garments I never wear just too fancy, I am going with the thought of creature of habit. I just have to sew things I will wear everyday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori...All the items that are really fancy, I tend to only wear on vacations. City life, I'm just more comfy with my basics.
DeleteI finally broke down and purchased the Renfrew and hope to have my first done on Saturday! Your top is awesome! I too am a creature of habit!
ReplyDeleteIt actually just I simple top I could have drafted, that I just wanted to try...and now I consider it my knit sloper. You will love it once you get the armhole to your liking.
