Skewed Sailor Top

I thought I had missed this year's Spring Top Week hosted by Made By Rae.
Last year, I had joined in the fun and made four cute tops for spring. This year, because I've been busy getting the house ready for sale, I thought I would skip this year's event. However, as luck would have it, there is still time to join.
My goal here is to join in the fun, make some cute tops, and get inspired by other peoples' creations.
I don't know how many tops I will end up making, but this will be my first official entry.

To make this top, I took a t-shirt that fits me comfortably, and used as a basis for this top. Don't you love this blue? This blue knit was bought at a thrift store. Lucky me...
To create the collar, I used remnant knit from my dress making episode. Making use of my dressform, I pinned the collar onto the top and sewed it on.
To make the collar asymmetrical, I made a buttonhole (reinforced in the back), and threaded a 'tie' through that buttonhole.



Hey, if you have a t-shirt that you are willing to sacrifice, adding a skewed sailor neckline to that t-shirt would be a great refashion project!
