I bought the fabric from Geoff Rosenberg at Trumpingtion Village Hall a few months ago.

| The fabric in the middle |
It is a John Kaldor Jersey so good quality, but it is 100% man made fibre and feels like it is a bit clammy when I first put it on. Apart from that I really like it. It is quite stretchy and the arms are designed to be extra long, but in this fabric they were comedy long. I cut some of the length off and maybe took a fraction too much off, but not enough to be irritating, thankfully.
It is quite hard to take pictures of the fabric as the pattern makes it seem out of focus.

| sleeve gathers - my favourite part of this pattern |
I am trying out larger photos today - what do you think?
What a great pattern that is, a true workhorse. I love your new top and am also highly amused/jealous of your living near the brilliant sounding Trumpington village hall. That's the most English-sounding location ever!
ReplyDeleteTrumpington is an area of Cambridge and village hall was in the news last year, I think it was, for hold S&M evening classes! Fabric sales are much safer I imagine!
DeleteLovely!! It's great to have such a fail safe pattern that delivers every time! Love the gathers!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, those gathers are such a lovely detail! TNT patterns are the best :D
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern as well. I think I have about three longsleeve versions and at least four short sleeve versions. The idea with the dress is a great idea too.
