Again I made the XS and fitted the cuffs, cutting the side seams 5/8" on each side. The pattern instructions say to slight stretch the outer band as attaching, I did that for my red one but this time I didn't - not sure if you can really notice.
The great thing about merino is that while it does have a right and wrong side it is not super obvious. That really makes a difference for this pattern, in that you can't tell that is obviously the inside of the top that can be seen.
I think could be worn with a belt if you wanted to have a permanent closure - that could be quite a nice styling option. Must try that!
The top could be dressed up or down. This is my weekend version with a long t-shirt and leggings. It will look great over a dress for the office.
I love my Papercut Circle Top :-)
I've had my eye on this pattern for a while, it looks so fun and easy to stitch up, kind-of-a-hoodie-kind-of-a-cardi :)I love your red version for a pop of colour and I can see how black would be easier to pair with more items.
ReplyDeleteI love my circle tops - I'm on the hunt now for a nice clip closure that I can just pop on and whip off.
DeleteOh, I love it! And, yes it is a full circle, who would have guessed? It looks so effortlessly comfortable and so unique all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks! such a simple pattern - a circle with sleeves, but such a great idea.
DeleteLove this - it looks super snuggly too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying having this in my wardrobe.
DeleteSuch a versatile top! I think if you wore it with a brightly coloured skinny belt it would look fab :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, great idea :-)
DeleteIt looks really great, just like your red version! And I also like your Lola dress BTW!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy. I so want to make another Lola as well, but just have to find the right colour.
DeleteCute!! I've been eyeing up that pattern as well - it looks so fun to both make and wear. :-)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add an extra 1" to the sleeve of the black version, which now makes my red one my favourite for comfort. You definitely need one.
DeleteLoves like a fun pattern to sew up and comfortable jacket to have. Definitely will have to give that pattern a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think this pattern should be in everyone's wardrobe basics :-)
DeleteI am ever so late to this party and love your jacket. I will have to have another look at PaperCut patterns ..... oh no don't tempt me lol. And you'll be wearing this for a while yet as spring weather is here.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes I feel as though I'm living in both circle tops lately :-)
DeleteOnly just saw this, but I love that circle top. I'd seen the pattern, and skimmed past it as I didn't like the look of it. But you've made it look amazing and like something I'd really wear.
ReplyDeleteIt is really fun to wear, it's never just so.
