I desperately needed a plain navy and plain black top so, with the left over fabric from my leggings, I set to work!
This is a great, simple pattern and each top took less than an hour to make, a nice quick fix! I made the black slightly longer than the navy which was lucky because I didn't prewash the fabric and they shrunk, lengthways, after the first wash. Oops. Luckily they are still wearable.
Lesson learnt about prewashing now though :)
The Plantain is such a lovely pattern isn't it, and perfect for everyday wear. Yep, I also learnt the lesson about pre washing knits the hard way!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they would shrink so much!
DeleteGreat basics for your wardrobe, and the fit looks really good for you! I look forward to some of these post baby - I suspect they'd be handy for feeding.
ReplyDeleteNice tops
