What was your inspiration?

A top I saw on the All Saints Spitalfields website

What are you most proud of?

The collar band went on perfectly!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

watch the video carefully for the neckband assembly and practice the part where you stretch only 1 layer of the fabric whilst sewing.

Wow! That is uberfantastic - the construction looks to be perfect, but what I'm even more awed by is your creative eye - your fabric choice and accompanying design lines are unlikely, unique, and they totally work. Thanks for sharing - it's definitely a piece I'm going to keep in mind for inspiration!

No, I've tacked a few knit projects before with varying success. After watching the classes I acquired a walking foot for my machine and tried a few different techniques which really improved the construction and finish of my garment :)
