Thank you so much Eli!! If you do, I'll look forward to seeing yours!! :)

You know I do think it's more the 'clinginess' that's bothering me more than anything.... so that confirms I chose the wrong fabric. Need to stop buying those soft, drapey, clingy knits!! :)

Beautiful! I love the colour blocking! I didn't realize the lovely back style at first glance. I have never seen a top like this before, but now I would like to make one myself.

It does sometimes happen - a garment becomes a huge disappointment after it is made. I do find very fine, drapey knits unflattering on most people - they always seems to cling to whatever sort of "shelf" they find - or if fitted, those rolls we get with bras. Having said that, I think this is the sort of top that will be useful - I tend to wear things that are not quite right on housework days, or if I am running low on clothes before washing. And, it may be that it will gradually gain your affection when you find more to pair it with.

Knotting the sides is a great idea Katharina!! Thank you so much for your kind comment! It may become a favored 'comfy top' or at-home top and may try another sometime in the future. :)

I think you should try using the shark hem to tie knots on each side of the t shirt. Maybe that will work better. I think oversized t shirts look better when they are a little bit cropped and not so super long. The pattern really is interesting and you sewed everything so neatly, I hope you and the top can become friends after all :)

What's so funny Sue is that we don't follow baseball, football, or really any sport either!! Thanks so much for letting me know what you think. I did enjoy wearing it with the shorts yesterday. :)

I think you are so right Mama Pea..... poor choice of fabric both content and color! I wore this top all day yesterday, as shown here with the shorts, and really quite enjoyed it. You brought up a good point about the sharkbite hemline....hmmmm.... didn't think of that. Thank you so much for your insightfulness and kind compliment! Have a good day!! :)

I don’t mind it at all and as I don’t follow baseball, I had no thoughts about the back. On the other hand, if you don’t like it, you won’t wear it so only time will tell.

I think the only problem with this top was the choice of fabric . . . and the white back! So glad your hubby and daughter said it looks like a baseball shirt because that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it. (Sorry.) :o(

I don't think the sharkbite hemline is unflattering on you at all. You're tall enough to wear it and I like the way it draws the eye downward which shows off your good legs. Now if *I* were to wear a hemline like that, I'd look like a gnome!
