And another deadline bites the dust.  Unusual number of unexpected visitors this month, including a niece and nephew we haven't seen for 3 years, all lovely to see, but taking out my spare time.  Children all came to see us and put on a buffet so I wouldn't have to cook, so of course I had to clean house.  While bottoming the ironing pile, thought I would save time by putting on interfacing while the iron was on.  Fastened one piece onto the wrong side of a front, so just a little bit of tidying up to do there.

SewRuthieSews' Entry for the Inspired By contest

I was inspired by this style of top which has a woven front but a stretchy jersey back.


I used New Look 6420 View A (long sleeved batwing top).


As this is a knits only pattern and I was using woven and knit together, I cut up a size and flared out the hem. In the end I kept the extra size in the sleeves, but removed most of the extra added in the body as it was very loose.

Burgundy woven front, jersey back top.



I would definitely sew this again, its a great way of using woven fabrics in a dressy t-shirt. And I know it will get a lot more wear in my lifestyle than a blouse, plus the comfort of the jersey back is wonderful.
