And I like the length of the shortened turtle neck much better, good choice! The whole outfit is very pretty and fits you so well!<br />I can&#39;t believe it is 26°C in south Carolina again!

After I wrote this post, I did look closer at the pattern and her photograph especially, and she shows the turtleneck turned down, so guess that is how she designed it to be worn. That just isn&#39;t my personal preference and found taking off the inch before cutting it out, is a perfect neckline piece for me. I&#39;ll be looking forward to see what you make!!! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-46680195495743113632018-02-25T15:01:40.481-05:002018-02-25T15:01:40.481-05:00Thank you Shirley! The skirt is so heavily modified, you may not recognize it in the original Axel pattern. I will try to post how I made this skirt sometime in early March. Same here... am finding I really like layering now, particularly with pieces that do not add bulk. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-12788926941581477902018-02-25T14:59:35.955-05:002018-02-25T14:59:35.955-05:00Truth be told.... me too..... I&#39;d kept onto some loose fitting rtw turtlenecks and only wore them on cold hiking days.... but found I was longing for a change.... and this form-fitting one is perfect. This is the second Itch to Stitch pattern I&#39;ve made and have found both patterns to be well fitted and designed. Thank you Kathleen! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-78592985282456693112018-02-25T14:57:29.856-05:002018-02-25T14:57:29.856-05:00Thank you Barbara!

That Hepburn looks so nice in the stretchy fabric that I am going to totally copy you and make one too. I love the fact that it looks like a bodysuit. I hadn&#39;t really thought about the high neck but do find that I turn mine down sometimes so I obviously have the same problem. I made mine out of a ribbed knit (like you&#39;d use for cuffs and bands) and it also turned out brilliantly if you are looking for inspiration for another one. <br />PS thank you for the mention! :)Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-31786256807059990922018-02-24T20:40:49.375-05:002018-02-24T20:40:49.375-05:00Both of these outfits are lovely! I love the blue skirt; it looks so nice on you. I will have to check out that pattern. The blouse is such a great layering piece. I use to not layer much but find I&#39;m doing that all the time now.

A turtleneck is always handy and as you say for $10 it&#39;s such a standard garment to have in your wardrobe you&#39;ll be making it over and over in many different colourways no doubt. You could easily have 7 or 8 of them in your wardrobe. I was thinking about fit actually and reading how easy you found it to get a great fit with Itch to Stitch I was even more inspired. I have 2 of her patterns (a faux wrap top that I really like the look of and her cardigan) but I haven&#39;t made them up yet.

It never would have occurred to me to put that orangey top with the blue skirt but it looks very good, each piece complimenting the other. I will need follow your lead in thinking outside the color box.
