Description

My first project in jersey fabric. wow it was hard!! the creases in front I had to unstitch and remake 3 times, and then I gave up.. Not perfect, but ok. I used a twin needle for the hems. I forgot to lengthen the sleeves (my arms are a bit longer than the regular pattern) so they were a bit short…
Anyhow. I finished it! I can wear it at home at least:)

    I am rather tall and often even store bought items in my size have sleeves just a “wee bit” too short. What I do when I can get away with it (and your top seems to be the kind this could work with), is just pull them up even higher, making them look like “gathered 3/4” sleeves… ;-) As for the rest – I like the top and I wish my first tries were that successful!!! :-)
