George and Ginger - The Janis top

Hello,

I did some selfish sewing, a new fun piece in my wardrobe for the fall. I have this pattern since the release in spring 2019 and finally give it a try. 

George and Ginger has upgraded their sizes chart, you can find this pattern under the old school section (old size chart from tween size to adult 26). 

I had selected another fabric for this project. When it was time to cut, I realized that my fabric was not wide enough (width of 125cm). Instead,  I used a fabric with a width measurement of 160cm.

This pattern has only a few pattern pieces, but it took a little while to make the gathered sleeve and ties. Next time, I will maybe use ribbon for the ties similar to the cover picture of the pattern.

Journal notes:

Fabric Bamboo Jersey knit (250 gsm - 95% bamboo rayon, 5% spandex) Huckleberry from L'Oiseau Fabric (check the resources page for a discount on your first order)

Pattern The Janis* top size 6

Overall I think it is a perfect top for a date night! I love the gathered sleeves and the slimmer waist.

take care,

Nadine
