Same top (Sewing Workshop Mix It Shirt, Tank andTop), different fabrics. Quick and easy to sew, a decent fit without much adjustment; this is the kind of pattern I look for. I chose the tank top version of this pattern. The ombre polka dot print is 100% cotton; the stripe print is a rayon blend. I have become adept at applying bias binding to the neck and armholes, thanks to this project. I also practiced seam finishes, i.e., Hong Kong as well as serged seams. With these tops completed, I've already moved on to another pattern; part of Christine's summer sewing frenzy. All these tops? I call them my house blouses; tops to knock around in and be comfortable in as well. Can you believe? It's mid-August and summer's nearly coming to a close. I'll be thinking about making simple jackets to wear over these tops for fall/winter. At last, a wearable wardrobe in the making!
