Spring, knits & Knitting

 I'm so excited that spring is here! Even tho we did'nt have much of a winter here in Kentucky. Still it's so nice to see the  the daffodils shooting up and the trees starting to bloom. Seeing some colour outside has had me digging in my fabric stash this past week for linens and other summer fabrics. So I've been sewing up a storm in my little sewing area.

Here is the review for a little knit top I made about three weeks ago.

Butterick 5495

Pattern Description:
Loose fitting top with front drape gathered into loop, dropped shoulder, seam details and stitched hems. I made version c
Pattern Sizing:
8-14 I made a 10 grading to a 12 at the hips.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Love the shape of this top. Very flattering with the gathers in the front. This top works well for bigger bust ladies ( I'm a 38c). I also like that the length is that little bit longer that some of the other knit tops I've make before.

Fabric Used:
Knit that found on the red-tag sale table at Jo-Ann fabrics for $3 a yard  Cost me about $5 bucks to make this top!
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will sew it again maybe in a solid colour next time.
Conclusion:
Great little knit top that you can make up in an afternoon.

I'll leave you with a picture of my Grand-daughter ( who is sitting with me as I type this and trying to tap the keys on my laptop :) wearing a the cardi I knit for her.

Thanks for stopping by.
