Color Me Chic Top

COLOR ME CHIC TOP

As promised, I want to bring you a look at the top from our latest pattern.  First, here's the envelope:

The design is really distinctive. The front panel is a bit different, and it extends below the rest of the garment.  The front facing folds down and becomes the right side of the neckline.  It's great fun to "fussy cut" a print fabric to feature just the right elements on that front panel. 

You can see that Louse chose a special element for her facing, then ran the row of little squares down one side of the front panel.  

Here's a detail of the front hem.  As always, we've drafted those mitered corners for you.

And a closer look at the front facing:

The top also has a cool little vent on the sleeve that sits on the inside of your elbow:

So altogether it's a bit different and attention-getting.  I hope you have fun with this pattern.  Post your new top on the Facebook Forum to inspire all the rest of us!
