I made a few tops for fall that I knew would get used in heavy rotation. I was missing some basic layering tops, and that was just silly. I have plenty of fabric…hello! I like to have longer tops to go with my leggings for booty coverage.
For all of these I used the Sneha by Wardrobe by Me* (affiliate link) as the basic block.
This first one I made from bamboo fabric from Twisted Needle Textiles, and makes my little gothy black heart happy. 😉 This was basically a straight Sneha top. I cut the top and bottom separately by mistake, but it turned out fine. I find that the back tends to have some pooling fabric on me, so that allowed me to take out the extra fabric.
I know I will wear this with plenty of things in my closet. I actually made it specifically to go with a top that I will be showing soon.
This next one was mostly a straight Sneha, only I added a cowl collar and thumbhole cuffs. This fabric is a light-weight sweater knit with plenty of drape, and very soft. I probably should have put clear elastic along the shoulder, but that stuff can get irritating.
Lastly this is the one I showed with my cardigan a few weeks ago. It is a lightweight jersey fabric that I doubled up both the front and back on the pattern. I then cut the bottom at different angles. The neckline has clear elastic in it, as I didn’t do a binding. The clear elastic keeps it from stretching out after serging.
I am wearing it with the layering crop top and straight leg leggings I made last winter. The sweater is RTW. I love the look of layered outfits, so winter is time for the fun dressing!
And it is freezing out and snowing, so I guess it is winter!
