Just for a change...a red top!

I received my Zipperstop order last week so finished up this Vogue baby. I adore this neckline but apparently did something wrong cos it didn't fit. Fudging had to be done so mine doesn't look as nice as it should. I'll just have to make another one, right? :)

The fabrics are wool except for that sleeve which is a Marcy Tilton mesh purchased at Puyallup. See, I am using the fabrics I bought in the USA.

Vogue 8793

Size L

Fabric: front - red merino from the Remnant Warehouse $14.95 p/m

back - black wool jersey leftover from my cardi wrap 2 yrs ago

sleeve - b/w mesh from Marcy Tilton $15 p/yard

collar - black/grey striped merino from The Fabric Store bought at Downunder PR weekend 2011
