City Girl top

A while back I posted about some cute and super comfortable pants to try out the leisure wear trend that is going so strong right now.  (Fancy sweat pants) The top I made originally to go with those pants was the City Girl by See Kate Sew.

I enjoyed sewing this top up and it was very easy.

I like the cowl neckline a lot, but am not as much thrilled with the amount of volume below the bust.

And, my fabric choice could be better.  I just don't think this knit had enough stretch for optimal comfort.

This was my first woman's pattern by See Kate Sew. I have sewn her children patterns and loved them.  The only complaint I have had with them is the size range ... I want them to come in tween sizes.

I think I will be making another one of these in a sweater knit come this fall.
