Basic red top! I wanted to practice sewing with jersey and other stretch fabrics, and also try my hand at bias binding because I never really knew how to do it properly. This was a really simple sew and a great pattern to alter as you please!. I altered the neckline and that was about it.
Some sort of fine stretch cotton? (not sure)
My husband- for the pics.

what a great job you did with the stretch fabric! i’ve just finished sewing up this pattern but it didn’t quite work for me because the neck line gaped a little- did you find that? it looks great on you & love the colour!

That looks great! I haven’t quite ventured to the stretch fabrics yet myself – I stand in awe!

Very cool! It looks like you did a great job on the bias binding, that’s something I want to learn how to do as well :-)
