Greetings!  After last week's crazy success with the Renfrew top, I decided to make another!  I used a striped rayon / poly mohair blend in charcoal gray and cream.

Adjustments:

1. I added four, that's right.... FOUR inches to the length of the body.  Now it looks so much better on my loooooong torso :)

2. After struggling to get the waistband to look okay with the stripe pattern, I decided to forgo the whole process and just hemmed the sleeves like normal.

This fabric was definitely more difficult to work with that the purple boucle knit I used the first time.  It was quite slippery AND stretchy (bad combo) AND I had to match the stripes!  What was I thinking?

In any case, it definitely turned out okay and I can totally see myself wearing this a thousand times in the future :)
