Kirsten Kimono Tee #3

I thought I would post a photo of my third Maria Denmark-Kirsten Kimono Tee!  Such a quick, quick sew.  DH and I were leaving to go out and play in the lovely summer weather, though rather hot.  He took a few quick shots of the top.  Fabric is from Girl Charlee's January KnitFix.

I have to admit I was not really thrilled about this fabric but after making it and wearing yesterday, I do like it now.  Because it contains some cotton it was perfect for outdoors and the hot weather we had yesterday.  Cotton does wick much better than polyester knits.


side stripes match pretty close to perfect-Alma my grandmother would be very proud of this
I am sure there will be more of this top!

    1. I have to admit I did not like the fabric at first, but it grew on me! I like that I used it for this pattern.

  5. The kirsten kimono tee is so popular = yours is a lovely version, not too tight. I love the armholes as well - I know you are showing the perfectly matched stripes (and they are) but I love that the armholes are quite deep - also needed in the heat.
