Self-Drafted color block top

Of all the things I have sewed so far, this simple color-blocked top is my absolute favorite!


When I started sewing about a year and a half ago, this was the first top I attempted. I used an old t-shirt as reference for drafting the pattern. This was before I was even aware of all the techniques I have learned since, rub-offs and commercial patterns and tissue pattern fittings. I am surprised to this day how I manged to get the sleeve cap to fit the armhole without doing any complicated math. Must be beginner's luck.








The pictures were taken back in summer on a fruit picking outing.
