Garment #9 - Red and White Knit Blouse
This is knit wrap top from BWOF 1/08 #116 made with fabric from Spandex House.
This was very easy to make, and with the shorter sleeves will be able to worn throughout the spring and summer with additional layers if necessary to keep warm. Other than making the sleeves short sleeves, the only other change I made was to raise the neckline. Like many of my SWAP items, it can be dressed up or down depending on the skirt or trousers and accessories worn with it.I only have two garments left to make: the black trousers and the denim shorts. Look for the black trousers next week!
Parting Shots. Serious/Silly. We had quite a time taking Easter family pictures on Sunday. The majority of them were just candids of various family members doing silly things, but there were a few nice ones, too. This week, I'll present some of the photos in pairs; one serious, one silly. Today's shots are of my husband and me. I don't think I've actually shown a decent photo of him on the blog. This is the only one you'll get, he's actually a camera ham.

Can you give some tips on fabric shopping online? I see a lot of cute-looking prints at Spandex House, but the word "spandex" gives me a reflexive shudder. How can I tell the difference between fabric that would make a cute top (like yours) vs. fabric that's really meant for a swimsuit.... or better for the trash bin? What do I want to look for in the description? I am lost if I can't touch the fabric before I buy it.
Thanks!

Great top and you guys make a cute couple.

Great looking top, red and white always looks so nice. Great pictures of you and your hubby.
Great photos of you and your husband, and I see you wore a black cardigan - or was that just at home?
Your dress turned out lovely - simple design (but with nice details) for the patterned fabric.
BTW, laughed out loud about the flowers a couple of posts back! What a waste that would have been.
Oops, I forgot to mention the top - got distracted by the Easter photos! Very nice - looks very comfortable and will be perfect for the rest of the SWAP. You are almost there!
Lovely top, just perfect for spring!
The happy couple looks wonderful in the pictures, even the silly one!
Cute couple! Even in your silly pose!
I remember Spandex House shown on Project Runway. I'm glad they're online. NYC is a little far for me! Cute top!
I love your top, so cheerful. You and your husband are such a nice couple!
