I decided that I wanted to wear my new Renfrew Top, version 2 today. I got my DH to take photos after we got home from having dinner and shopping. I used a photo editing feature to highlight the photos to showcase the bright colors of the fabric.
I really like this version of the top. The fabric is a soft but slightly heavier knit than the knit I used for the first version I made about two years ago.
This was the first version; I used a lightweight metallic knit from Mood. I love this knit, not scratchy as previous metallic knits I acquired in the past. It was also a little see through and I wear a camisole or tank top under neath normally.
This new version is from a knit I acquired in 2013 from EOS. I am liking this pattern so much that I am getting ready to cut out a knit fabric I acquired from Waechters Fine Fabrics in Asheville, NC in 2011.
It is interesting how each version has a different look depending on knit fabric chosen. This gray fabric is textured.
More updates later.
Your tops are lovely. The newest one is gorgeous. I love that bright fabric.

ReplyDeleteYikes, another pattern to add to the ever-growing list! I've seen both your and Kyle's version of this top and now I want one! I love the color in your first top.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really like the fit of this pattern.
DeleteI agree with you on multiples when they work!
ReplyDeleteI don't do multiples a lot but I really think I need to rethink that some more.
DeleteI love this top! Stunning. and the colors are fabulous for a cold and wretched winter, no? g
ReplyDeleteIt has been horribly cold here in VA. It is drab in the winter that I thought something colorful was in order.
DeleteI really like that fabric and you look beautiful wearing it. Looks like I might have to try that pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good pattern Sherry!
