I promised that I was trying to get a little sewing done. I had not planned on posting any pictures until I was done with the complete outfit, however I just could not help myself today.

As usual, this is such a great pattern and so quickly sewn up that I really enjoy making it. Size 74. Corduroy is a european fabric. The lining is a beige/white cotton fabric.
Ottobre Musksis Jersey Top
This is also a size 74, even though it is quite wide for the sizing. It was simple to put together, but I am not happy with how the back is being pulled at the shoulders. Either I put it together wrong, or the back is actually shorter then the front, and therefore pulling only on the mannequin. I will know more tomorrow when Olivia models the shirt. The jersey I used is so unbelievably soft. I love it when I find such a grand fabric at such a perfect price. It feels really really expensive. I added the velour ribbon around the sleeve edges to give it a little flair. I do think next time I want a regular shirt to wear underneath dresses, I will use the older pattern which is cut narrower then this model. Easy peasy as my d.s. would say. BTW, the neckline is nice and low unlike a lot of the older versions of Ottobre tees.
