Turtlenecks. I love them for layering in the winter and KS 2740 has been my go-to pattern. I wanted one made of the sleeve fabric of the Vogue 8778 tunic that just came off the sewing machine.
Just as I went to take these shots a ferocious wind storm blew up and my camera decided to FAIL at point and shoot.
OK, multiple shots later and let’s pretend it’s an “art shoot” for now. I’ll have to relearn all the manual settings (ha)
KwikSew 2740 is another pattern that has had a long life and I see that it is no longer listed in the active patterns at the KwikSew.McCalls.com website but is still offered for sale by other resellers and ebay. It’s worth chasing down for close fitting turtleneck tops.
I love the top picture. Really cool. xo
Kisses, Colin
Mary Beth, love both the tops. I love the turtleneck!! It goes perfect with the outfit. Also love the Vogue pattern. Absolutely spectacular and and welcome back.
Why, thank you kindly, Mz McCarty. Of course, now the camera is deciding it doesn’t want to play along, and, that’s after the wild search for the tripod finally proved successful. It’s a hard life LOL
Gonna pin ya!! You’ll get that camera working
Opsie, won’t let me pin.
I’m not a fan of Pinterest, Kuby, so I’ll probably leave that setting off. Sorry! But you can find me here (since 2006)
Your tops are wonderful. I like your “art” shot, too!
PS. Don’t you ever have a bad hair day?
Yes but the virtue in long hair is that it just gets pulled up into a topknot (thank Gawd)
I like the Art Photo Shoot!! cute top, too!!
Great looking tops and your hair is so nice
Mary Beth I love it when you wear your hair long. So feminine
Both this top and the very colorful sweater knit look great, as do you!!
I think you are amazing! ..and is is your sewing. I never fail to be inspired by you <3
Happy Christmas Mary Beth. Good to see you back.
Thank you *so much* Ruth – Merry Christmas to you as well.
