Loose fitted knit top tutorial!

Here is a tutorial my husband and I threw (mostly my husband) together last night/today, I'm shocked at how quickly we did this one. Anyway, I love this top! I refashioned a men's american apparel shirt here doing the same thing and wore it as an outfit post here. So, as you can see I love the fit of this shirt. I feel it is flattering, yet sexy at the same time...who doesn't want to wear something like that?! By the way, I have received and checked out some blogs/emails that have pictures of amazing versions of my refashions! AWESOME! I love see what you guys do! I'm thinking I will post them all sometime soon! So, if you want me to check your amazing versions of my refashions, email me or leave a comment about it. Excited!
A lot of people have asked where I found this knit fabric...I found it at a thrift store! It was worth pennies!

  5. Wow! Great tutorial! Just found your blog and I can tell i'm going to be here A LOT! Anyway I can't wait to make one myself.

    Quick question, where did you get that adorable knit fabric?

  6. This is great, and thanks especially for the tips on the type of stitch to use to finish off the edges and hem. I know with knit fabric you can leave the edges raw to simplify, but if you ever wanted to do a tutorial on how to finish edges, especially on a neckline and sleeves, I sure wouldn't complain.

  20. Nice tutorial, your explanations are clear and ... I love your uncluttered home, your spacious sewing surface (so different from mine!), your pretty golden scissors! Everything you have is so neat. I'd love a post on your craft room.
    I was directed here reading a comment at my favourite creative blog http://www.unideanellemani.it

    Keep up the good work!
    Love from breezy Milan, Italy

  21. Great looking top, but it sort of puzzles me, that you don't use your serger (standing in the background)to sew knit fabric. It's way quicker, makes the seams so much stronger and in my humble opinion it gives a more professional touch/look. Try a 4-thread overlock stitch for your knit projects and for finishing of raw edges. Once you tried it, you'll never go back to the straight-stitch machine's zig-zag again. ;-)

  22. Wow, thank you for posting this, can't wait to try it for myself! I don't have a serger and I've always been scared to try making my own basics, but I'm definitely giving this one a try. I read most of your blog today, you have so many great tutorials, keep up your great work!
