Pattern Review Vogue 8251
Introducing Raewin who has been a long time Tessuti customer and is a very talented sewer – regularly attending classes at Sit’n’Sew to fine tune her skills.
Here she is in a great top made up in Tessuti’s 100% Polyester Stretch Knit ‘Misti Marle’ – it has a Missoni knit look about it and makes up beautifully. Raewin actually wore this top about a month ago – before the heavy rains and sudden cold snap in Sydney!!!

Raewin found it easy to make and enjoyed the challenge of the twisted band at the back. It looks great …. the front tuck detail , flattering neckline and the lovely cap sleeve created from the twisted band are lovely. To see another review on this pattern ( there aren’t many ) you can see Erica’s post about it here.

I made this top a while ago too, but I need to go down a size and haven’t got to it yet – looks like I really should try. I do remember that I had a nightmare trying to figure out the crossover at the back!
Very cute top! So many inspiring projects and so little time….sigh.
