Jalie 2921 is one of my favorite top patterns. I'm not sure why I've only made it three times actually. Something shiny distracted me, I guess.
I like the shape of it, and the collar is cool to make and fun to wear.
You'd think after three makes I'd have gotten around to doing a swayback adjustment though. Lazy past Katie keeps forgetting to alter the pattern.
I made this version exactly like
my first (you can see my cheater FBA method here as well), with the exception of shortening the ties. Like, a lot. I find that while it looks cute tied, the knot bugs me with wear and untied, the ties are too long and hang out of the bottom of jackets and sweaters.
So, ties and sleeves are short and perky. The fabric is ITY from FabricMart. I had bought it thinking dress, but it's a bit thin for that. Perfect for a summer top though.
Between the short sleeves and the thin knit, this will be a great trans-seasonal piece, since the ties are short enough to layer under jackets. I'm so glad I squeezed this one in before we moved!
