Yellow Top - Burda 7/09, #122 B

I bought some yellow knit from Fabric.com late in the winter and decided to save it for summer.  Now that summer is here, it is time to make a knit top from it.  This knit is sort of drapey, and a little bit sweatery, and is a good weight for where I live.  Lisa had some of the same fabric and made a cute tank from it when yellow was one of the choir colors for the month. 

I've decided to use Burda 7/09, #122 B for this top, with a few changes.  One, I'm going to make the back higher and eliminate the keyhole.  Two, I'm not going to do the binding that Burda suggests (a four-fold style binding, like a quilt binding), but I'm going to finish the neck edges the way the Jalie patterns do. 

So far, I've got everything cut out and I'm starting to get the reinforcing interfacing in place and the neck binding strips pressed.

This should make up quickly, and I think that tomorrow will be a quiet day.  That means I might get to work on this!

Parting Shot:  Garden.  This is my son's garden this year.  We were delayed a bit since we bought a roto-tiller this year and waited for that to arrive.  It has come in handy for the new long flower bed this year and will be good for all the gardening and landscaping in the future.  We chose vegetables with shorter growing times, so we only have tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, beets and green beans this year.
