This is a Lutterloh tank top. I have had my eye on this pattern for a while. It is from the 2013 supplement 289.
Stripes scram summer me. I love stripes. And I am very please with everything about this top.

Bragging fully justified. That is a lovely top.

You are most certainly entitled to brag!  Fantastic top.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Love how you played with the stripes there. Stripes are gorgeous and really scream summer - thoss sun glasses are a hoot, the seem to scream summer cocktail  :D

Bragging rights duly accorded and fully justified!

What method did you use to make sure of the match?  I usually nail stripes down with some firm, smaller stitch basting to keep the little devils in place.

Lovely top Susana, great specs too!

To match one way is excellent, to match two ways, is genius!

Well done!
