some knit tops

Yes, it's been a while since I last posted, but I promise I've been working on things!  Here's some knit tops that I've just made.



First is a top made from a men's  turtleneck shirt.  I did the anchor in reverse applique from another shirt, a men's tee shirt.  This is one of my favorite refashions ever!  I love the anchor.


This was made from the rest of the tee shirt, plus some fabric from a shirt I bought that I sewed too small the first time I tried to refashion it.  The neck was the original, cut off and sewed here.


This is from a knit floral pillowcase. I did the neckline a little different this time, twisting it before I sewed it on.



This is from a size 22 women's shirt from a yard sale.  It was almost one of my best sewn knit things ever; I can't tell the difference between the binding on the armholes (which I sewed on) and the binding on the neck (which in from the original). Sadly, I cut a hole while trimming the extra seam allowance by the armhole, and had to patch it up.  Not so great...

This one I just took in the sides.  Big deal.  Liked the navy and white, though!

So, yes, I've been working on things!  I got a few things that have been sitting around taken care of, finally!
