Cidell and I had a discussion this week about making separates that languish in the closet because we have nothing to pair with it. For this reason alone, I have undertaken the SWAP and as Cidell said, we will have a workable wardrobe if it kills us. This top sat on my coffee table still pinned to the pattern for a week. I have never left a garment pinned to a pattern before and I don't want to make a habit of it. Part of the reason for that was that I'm not terribly confident with knits. I can do loads of things that others find difficult, but knits scare the crap out of me. I seem to have mastered the twin needle thing finally, so I'm rather happy with the way the neckline has turned out.
Apropos of nothing - here is the view from my sewing room. I took the picture from outside because the window is filthy and you wouldn't have seen past the cobwebs.

I really like the look of this top, but I think you are right about wrap over knits being too hot for our climate at this time of year. Sometimes even one layer is too hot! I love your orange fabric - where did you get it?
I LOVE the orange color. Is the wrapover really too hot? Are you in the same state as Cairns? I remember being flabbergasted at how hot it was.
We will sew coordinates! I like being on your team.
Very nice with the twin needle! Your topstitching is so even. I am sooo jealous that you're heading into warm weather now. I need to find a way to live summer year round.
Hi Carol, thanks for popping by my blog, nice to find you!
I've been having a rummage through your delightful blog, and I'm so in love with the dresses you make, they are just gorgeous!
carol: after looking at the photo of your view, I've decided to kill myself.
Beautiful view........
Love the top too :)
