Turquoise embellished top

 

This is my TNT turtleneck top pattern which I've made any times. I thought it would be ideal for the Mini Wardrobe, but wanted to add a twist to the version I normally make. Instead of the usual scoop front neckline I altered it to a V neckline and redrafted the collar to cross over.

I also applied interfacing in a V shape and did some freeform tonal hand embellishment with yarn, thread, ribbon, beads and buttons.


I really enjoyed the freedom of the thread and bead work as a contrast to the precision needed for pattern matching and welt pockets

Hi Ruthie, I've only just seen this. I saw the capsule and scrolled until I found a close-up. Gorgeous! And Inspiring! I've been making quite a few Ts lately and was looking for some easy to add ideas to jazz up a plain T. Thank you for your continued sharing.
