Description

Here is my Turtle neck batwing top. The idea for this top came about after Lydia (Polychromatin) and I were inspired by a batwinged top we had seen another member (tmac). The neckline is from the Anda pattern and the Bishop sleeves are adapted from a vintage dress pattern (the yellow sleeves in the 3rd pic are literally just sleeves I cut off from a Primark top). You can also wear the top both ways - great for getting dressed in the winter time now the mornings are dark!

Materials

Cream Jersey

Ah ha (thanks Lydia) - thanks to tmac for her turtle neck top!

Wow! I'm impressed that you did this out of the Anda pattern.

I love it - I love it - I love it! I have something similar (the only thing is that I bought it - didn't attempt sewing it). Excellent job!

studying :/

Ahh, you make blush, because mine does never look half as good as yours :D I love how yours turned out! The wide cuffs were definitely a good idea! Looks great on you! Btw: I saved the creation under my favorites: The original top is from tmac.

Very beautiful! The white fabric is perfect for this top and the fit is fantastic!

It was only a few days ago when I thought about making a shirt like this: Wide tight-fitting waist part and cuffs, loose sleeves and upper part of the shirt :) But I haven’t had any time to sew that yet, but this looks cool so maybe I will soon!
