This is how I feel guys! Winter will end! I had a mini knit marathon and grabbed this iffy stripe from the stash. I LOVE how it worked up and is my new favorite summer top! The stripes even match one of my wardrobe staples!

| The worst thing about this top is deciding which way to wear it! |
1. Lay your shirt front right side up and lay collar right side up on top, matching those squares. Or to say it in a more confusing way lay wrong side of collar on right side of shirt front. :) I serged along the entire shirt neckline edge attaching collar to shirt front.

| Top Left: Wrong side. Top Right: Right side Bottom: Perfect roll collar |
This is also my Vibrant April Stashbusting project! Whoo hoo for using up a piece out of the stash! A not liked piece to boot! To end this post full of sunshine and happiness, here's my cat who was just chilling out in the tree patch! Isn't he so pretty!

Great striped top and wouldn't it also go with your skirt/shorts? Love your cat's colouring!
You had me won over on the chevrons, the collar is a bonus!
Cat's like, "Are you taking pics of yourself? How amusing." Good job on figuring out how to sew that bad boy and doing stash busting stuff.
Looove your new Cab! That is *such* a nice stripe, and I hope it helps bring you spring... ;)
When I saw the top picture I was roaring with laughter, could you possibly find a better pair of boots of squash the remnants of winter? They go fabulously with the rest of your outfit, dear! But seriously, the top is fantastic, can you really wear it both ways???
Yes, this will go with much of my existing wardrobe, I just wasn't expecting it to when I pulled it off the shelf. Kitty is so pretty!
I know! It's SO COOL!
Aww.. you know I try... That's probably what cat was thinking too...
Thanks! I'm looking forward to warmer weather!
YES! I'm so glad someone noticed the boots! They are probably the only accurate part of my outfit depicting how spring really is here! My roommates at college deplored my shoe choices! :)
Yes, you can wear this top both ways because of the way it is designed. The bias cut chevrons have enough give for the girls and the "front" is cut along the fabric's greatest stretch. I have one I made last summer and wore all the time with no problems.
