You can see here that I have reversed the tops - the under layer is lower (thin bamboo knit from Gorgeous Fabrics), and the top layer higher at the neck to showcase my stretch lace fabric from Paris. I was very pleased that these fabrics seem exactly the same colour. It is also not a neutral earth colour. I am branching out!
I have made some more versions of this pattern this week, which I plan to review later as I wear them.
The skirt is BWOF 4-2009-something or other again, cotton gabardine. I have a feeling I should make a few more skirts, as this one is becoming rather dull and repetitive.
Here is the item I was really excited about. I finished this hand knit wrap - my own pattern, last night. I love the texture and subtle colours. (Jo Sharp Kid Mohair and Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed)
I am sure I will wear it a lot next winter.

These are ALL great! Wow!
Very nice. I like them both.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone look so pretty in navy! You look so pleased with your new wrap, too, and I think I would also make thousands of those skirts if I ever got round to it.
How many hours, on average, would you say you spend sewing per day?
all of it so cute! You're an inspiration! Maybe I WILL get some sewing in this weekend. Gotta work on that jacket...
Both your new pieces are beautiful. Loving your series this month.
OOOH love that lace knit top - gives me ideas....
I really like that lace top on you. It is a good color for you. I just bought some pink see through fabric and now I know what to do with it. I will make a long sleeved shirt and wear a short sleeved under it. Thanks for the idea.
Wow - on the top and the wrap. What a cozy looking wrap!
