Long sleeve Renfrew
First off, I wanted to say "thank you" to everyone that gave their input on my last post. Reading your thoughtful comments made such a difference in my mood and made me realize that I'm not entirely alone in how I feel when it comes to being in a sewing rut. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a girl feel better! :)
I decided to sew the Renfrew because it's a pattern that I have made before and I knew that it would be an uncomplicated, easy project. The fabric is from my shopping trip with Christine Haynes at the Michael Levine loft and it's a pretty wine colored knit. I really took my time with the construction and used a zig zag stitch to finish the raw edges (I don't have a serger). The inside looks really clean and professional, which is a first for me haha.

Very pretty, I love the colour. Renfrew is such a great staple, I don't think you can have too many.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's the perfect staple!
DeleteOh how cute is that duck face.. Great top

Deleteditto, cute face :) I'm hoping to have time to make a renfrew before Christmas, but yikes, I'm running out of time and I keep thinking of grocery shopping and cooking that has to be done!
ReplyDeleteGetting really excited for the family get together though--yay for Christmas.
Thanks, Qui! Are you coming to town for Christmas or is everyone coming to you? I know I asked you when you came over, but I forgot :(
DeleteLove it! I've got to get that pattern!
ReplyDeleteYou will be in love! Get it!
DeleteBeautiful color! That is a great pattern too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny! It's my fourth or fifth Renfrew, but my first one with long sleeves. I plan on making more with the longer sleeves, I love them!
DeleteYay! Congrats on using that pretty knit! And for getting out of your rut. We all have them from time to time... but luckily they pass :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are feeling better! That colour looks stunning on you and it's totes working with you LL headscarf! :D
ReplyDeleteAmanda, your comment put a smile on my face :) Thank you!
DeleteGirl, that colour is utterly fantastic on you!!! I super duper love your new cozy Renfew. They are so nice, aren't they? Did you get new specs? They are awesome and sparkly!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah!
DeleteThe glasses are the same ones, but I'm looking for some new ones. I just need to get my eyes checked again, so I can shop! :/
It's a great colour and the duck face is a great look. No botox necessary.
ReplyDeletehahaahha!
DeleteWell done on getting back into sewing again. Great top, the colour is lovely. It looks like a good wardrobe basic.
ReplyDeleteThank you! When I was shopping with Christine I kept gravitating to that color. I want more fabric in that color!
Deletequack! quack! I really must get that pattern! I see it every where and it looks like such a simple make. Right up my alley! Cutie!!
ReplyDeletehahaahh!!! You must know what face I'm talking about!! :)
DeleteIt's hard being in a sewing rut but you're a seamstress at heart who just needs some rest :)
ReplyDeleteAnd forty degrees at night is WARRRMM!
Maddie, it is in the low fifties right now and I am still cold!! I have on a huge parka, a scarf, and the heater is blasting!!
DeleteThis is great! I love it! What a nice color! I just finished up a black Renfrew this morning-- boring, but a much-needed basic!
ReplyDeleteAnd how I miss California winters! I used to shock my roommates and friends because I didn't need a jacket or even close-toed shoes coming from cold Chicago winters. :)
Great! Love the colour! You make me want to make another Renfrew :)
