I have made great progress on my third version of the Renfrew top. With this version I cut it an inch longer and decided that I would not add the hip band to this one, will coverstitch the hem. I did keep the sleeve cuffs; I still need to attach them.
Here is the work in progress:
I took a close up of the neckline to provide a better view of the textured knit fabric.
This knit has great stretch and recovery; it has been a very nice knit to sew. This is a knit I purchased from Waechters in Asheville, NC a few years ago.
Since I have made two previous versions I felt that I could whip this up by serging all of the seams. Previously I stitched using the sewing machine, then edge finished the seams with serger. This definitely reduced sewing time.
Love the color of your knit. The Renfrew is so popular I guess I have to get on the bandwagon. Once someone makes three I know you love it!
