TGIFF - Ebony Top

One of my Bee Christmas gifts was a gift certificate to one of my LQS.  I splurged and bought the Ebony top pattern by Closet Case.

I hate having my photo taken, but it's really the only way to show the top, so here goes.


It flares out a little at the sides.


The back is longer than the front.


I purchased an inexpensive lightweight knit for my first attempt.  It's an easy pattern, but I do need to learn how to use my serger.


The longer back kept billowing up in the wind.

    You look great Anja and so does your top. It's an interesting pattern. It looks like it's worth the money . The dress looks awesome and so does the shorter Tee.

    That colour looks amazing on you! I really like tops where the back is a little bit longer - it’s such a fun detail. Great job!

    I love your top! Well done. I have been playing again with the idea of making a "something". Me Made May does that to me, I see everybody's lovely hand made clothes and think, I would like to do that. Maybe I will!

    I love the colour, Anja.
    I need to learn how to use my serger (overlocker) too.

    Your top looks great, and so you do! You always look so pretty in your pictures. Tip for learning to use the serger: when re-threading, do it in the order they say and if you only need to fix one thread, actually do all four (in the correct order).
