Seamwork Astoria Top
I've been meaning to post my first Seamwork Astoria Cropped Sweater for a little while now - I actually sewed this one up a few weeks ago - I just keep forgetting to get some pictures of it! The weather is kind of crummy today and I'm not really in the mood for taking pictures of myself, so here are some pictures of the top on my dress form.

More Lark Tee's!
Ah! Finally getting back to posting about the clothes I've made recently. I've been busy trying to get some pieces done so I could stop wearing jeans to work everyday (whoops!) so I haven't had a ton of time to get out to take photos when it's light out, and to write about the things I've made.
Anyways, I received some fabric I ordered from Hawthorn Threads last week, and managed to whip up two new Lark Tees from Grainline Studios. I started with the boat-neck 3/4 sleeve version (you can see that one here), so I figured I would make two long-sleeve versions. One with a crew neck, and one scoop-neck. I've never sewn anything with a neck-band before, so I was a bit nervous getting started. Once I got going though and made sure everything was pinned properly, sewing on the neckband was easy! I am really loving my new serger for sewing with knits, I was able to whip up these shirts in about an hour each.

First Fall Make - The Lark Tee by Grainline Studio
Getting a bit ahead of myself here... it's not even October and I've already started sewing parts of my fall wardrobe! I wanted to give a possible staple a try, and use my serger for an actual project and not just testing it over and over again.
Anyways! I made the Grainline Studio Lark Tee boatneck & 3/4 sleeve version and I am SO pleased. It's far from perfect, but it's the first real top I've ever made with a knit. This pattern was so dang easy, and there are so many options (16 in total!) for customizing your shirt. Do yourself a favour and buy this pattern ASAP!
