New Running Outfit - The Top
I've got the top done and it was pretty easy. The pattern isn't that difficult and has just a few pieces.
I eliminated the shoulder ties and added a contrast arm band finish, which wasn't part of the original pattern, but I liked the finish and it was easy to do. The original instructions for the sleeveless style finishes the armhole by has the sleeve turning the seam allowance to the inside and topstitching. The finish I chose matches the neckline and was actually easier to do than turning a curved edge to the inside.
Now, to finish off the skirt/short combo and take it for a test run tomorrow!
Parting Shot: Chosen Spot. Wellie isn't much of a lap cat, but he has been choosing to sit with me in the evenings. It doesn't matter if I have knitting, stitching or a laptop, if he wants to sit he'll get in the way!

lovely combination. Will be a good set for running.
You must be running indoors? I have seen your snow pics and no way, are you running outside.
Love the top. It will be perfect for exercising.
Wellie is so cute...I sometimes have a cat and a dog squeezing for room...they do manage to get their own way :)
Nice top!
You and Wellie look very comfy. :-)

Looks very nice. I much prefer that style armhole than turned on top stiched- (glad it is not just me that finds turning a curved edge a little tricky)
