Happiness is my new favorite top!
Ottobre magazine 02/2010 Katherine top. I have seen a few others make this top and recently in a fit of shopping in my pj's I bought the back issue form Crafty Mama's.
This is what makes this pattern so great - the ruffle detail on the sleeve makes for a touch of funkiness I love.
The top also fits great straight from the pattern. This fabric is a lovely rayon knit from Gorgeous fabrics.
I loved it so much that I made another in a bright ditzy floral print also from Gorgeous fabrics.
This top is warmer than the rayon version so I haven't had a chance to wear it yet. Probably my only comment on this top is that it is not very long. I am average length in the body if you are long in the body or prefer a longer top you may want to lengthen it.

These tops are to die for. They are both so beautiful. Great choice and excellent work Sue.
ReplyDeleteFabulous tops Sue. Very flattering!
ReplyDeleteI love those t-shirts, especially the green one. Green looks gorgeous on you.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you love this pattern. Very flattering top on you. Really cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great top! I love both versions, but I really love the "ditzy floral" :)
ReplyDeleteI love those tops. The sleeves are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHead of heels for your tops... love them and totally love the ruffle detail on the sleeves. I've wanted to do a ruffle blouse, but after purchasing a blouse with the ruffle down the center and not liking the look... dismissed the idea of sewing one. After seeing yours, I will have to enter the realm of Ottobre patterns.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous top. Love those sleeves!
ReplyDeleteLove the ruffles. A great detail!
ReplyDeleteThey look great - I love that ruffle sleeve on you and the green is a fabulous colour - I have just worn and worn and worn that top.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous t-shirt pattern. Both versions look great on you. The sleeves are super cute!
ReplyDeletelove, love, love these tops! Green suits you too.
ReplyDeleteDid you finish the edges of the ruffles or just let them curl under?
What lovely tops. The ruffles are adorable. I particularly admire the green one. I have 2 tops from what must be the same fabric and am rapidly wearing them to death. snap!
