Yesterday I had a moment of clarity for my
Boardwalk jersey: this top from
'She has a mannish style'. Sometimes I forget that I have a shelf full of Japanese pattern books but I remembered. I do love this book, and I have made
so many things from it.
Yes! So I think this tee is a winner - in the photo at least. It is a good shape, interesting with all those buttons and a fun pattern to cut out.
I'm going to be a little bit unfaithful to my
other project and do a bit of pattern tracing tonight.
The only problem is that, due to the long fabric repeat (about 90cms I think) I won't be able to perfectly match up the sides as I didn't buy enough ... this will call for a bit of creative placement of stripes. A design feature!
