See? I actually finished sewing something. This easy top has been languishing for over a week for me to finish it. In my last thrift store stop, I finally was able to score 3 pieces of cotton interlock that are in "my colors". This is Simplicity 2364, view b. I highly recommend this one as a fast and easy sew....except for one glaring boo-boo I made during construction. How stupid was it for me to sew the sides of the front drape to the back of the sleeve? Evidently very stupid because I did it on both sides. So, just follow pattern instructions and don't be a dummy like me and wing it unless you really enjoy using your seam ripper. I like to "cheat" the system and see how inexpensively I can make something...So, pattern was $.99, and fabric was $2.50 with 25% off, and thread was in stash from making the snack skirt.As far as knitting goes, I am still working on a top down s/s top and a pair of Noro socks. I'm not really inspired by knitting right now, and force myself to do it everyday. Trust me, I don't need any more UFO's.
