Red Coimbra Top

 

Finished Coimbra top

     Another top for myself.  I chose another Itch to Stitch pattern, the Coimbra top.  The red knit fabric was in my stash.  

Neck detail

     It was interesting to have interfacing in a knit shirt.  The band all around was interfaced, this did make for a nice finish.  At first the strap placement was a little confusing until I realized there was an opening in one of the side seams to be able to tie the straps.

Pattern

     Because of the ties, this uses a lot more fabric than a typical t-shirt but it is also mcc dressier looking.

With knit slacks

With jeans

     I'm wondering about lengthening the top between the underarm and the tie/strap placement.  It seems to ride a little high on me.  All in all I do like this pattern and may try it with the collar option next time.
