I reckon you could make it work vest style, or how about under a nice cardy rather than a suit jacket?<br />Kudos on ticking off those UFOs.

And th...Good for you, whacking off UFOs like this. And they look good too, so it's well worth it.<br /><br />I totally agree with throwing out UFOs that aren't finished because either there's something wrong with the item, or you won't wear it if you finish it. Very wise.<br /><br />But I wonder whether you have some UFOs because you're trying to do too much. So OK, knowing how to line a sheath dress properly is a very nice skill. But you don't have to do something just because you know how :-). I'd line a wool vest, no problem, but I'd -never- line a cotton top. Even nice cotton won't last long enough to justify that kind of technical overkill. And presto, half the work! Do you see what I mean?Marie-Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-10567524133540071472009-08-03T19:18:02.740+10:002009-08-03T19:18:02.740+10:00I love this top, it's similar to a McCalls pat...I love this top, it's similar to a McCalls pattern I made a few times earlier this year. I think it's a great style for looking dressy under a jacket, but still being cool and comfortable. I'm still finishing a few UFO's, but as I keep adding things to the sewing list, it's getting harder to actually do it!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-889572362387652232009-08-03T17:14:48.064+10:002009-08-03T17:14:48.064+10:00Good job ticking another one off the list!
