another Renfrew

I seem to be replacing the long-sleeved tops in my drawer with Renfrews.  This is number three, I think.  There are a couple more planned.  And that is just the long-sleeved ones for winter!  What will happen when the weather warms up, I wonder.  Will I be sick of these or will I continue to whip them out?

I cut this one out with narrower shoulders and sleeves again, but it doesn’t look much different! The fabric is a mystery knit – most likely polyester – left over from an earlier project (originally from the Darn Cheap $2 per metre table). The cowl drapes beautifully in this fabric.

It skims nicely over my rolls at the back, but the bottom band could possibly be a smidge firmer. The shoulders could still come in more too.  It looks as though I will alter this pattern slightly each time that I make it!

    This must be the most sewn pattern in blogosphere. Love the print fabric you used for this one.

    Great outfit. The print looks fabulous with the boots.

    Looks lovely. I have been wondering how it would look as a longer tunic without the band at the bottom. Would love to know what you think.

    Great print! I agree, slinkier knits are perfect for the cowl version!

    This one looks great. I have been wondering how it would look in a print!
