The striped top


(New hair cut)
So yesterday I've not only photographed the poppy skirt, but also finished a new top for me. It was a hot sicilian sunday, the little town was sleeping and I was alone at home: the perfect combo for me to sit at the sewing table almost all day :)
Last friday I bought other knitted fabrics at my favourite stand (3 pieces for 5 €) and started to sew immediatly after washing them.
I self-drafted a pattern from a new t-shirt I recently bought; it's a large - "80s style" design (I noticed this kind of t-shirts are in all shops this summer!). This model is super simple to sew.


Now I have a confortable t-shirt to wear on black trousers (but I have not the trousers!!! >__<).
I was so precise while sewing it that I obtained this lovely effect on both the shoulders:


I'm in doubt about a few things about this top: are the colors and the model too "old woman" style? I guess if it makes me older than I am (35 years old).
Oh, and is it too long?
Please, be true in the comments, and write what do you think!

  3. This looks really nice on you, I think you chose the colors to complement your complexion really well. :) I've been on something of a cut-on sleeves kick myself, they're so comfy and versatile. Love your top.

  5. Thank you girls! :)

    Amanda, yes, my idea was to use it in summer, but in fall, too (the colors are perfect for october!)

    And about the top - I am impressed with your pattern matching and stitching. Very well done.
