I have always a project going on.. – even in my mind :)
This top is made of three different fabrics; transparent “croco” jersey, bronze jersey and transparent black net jersey for the sleeves. It’s my first time using raw edges on the sleeves, but for the net jersey it’s no problem. On the left shoulder I inserted a faux leather pieces as in the pattern.
Transparent net and “croco” jersey, and bronze jersey.

Ellen, I think our pattern libraries are very similar. Sometimes I’ll browse my library looking for my next project and then I happen to notice you’ve already made it! I love your choices in this. So lovely!
