Greeny from Butterick B4516

I finished sewing this top from Butterick pattern B4516

I really need to learn how to alter patterns so that I don't have loose armholes. I also need to change it so it has a smaller neck. But its a living and learning experience! I do like the colour and its great to wear under cardies and jackets to work!

    I just made a shirt with large armholes and neck today. I picked the size to fit my bust/waist/hips but apparently my arms are too small for my other measurements. I think I'll try the next size smaller, maybe making the torso part the same as the larger size.

    Anyways, thanks for visiting. Take care.

A few quick card makes.  I haven't been as prolific as usual in my card making this year and these were for a house warming, to say hi to a friend who was soldering on, two new baby cards, and one for a relation on BMs who is ill and recovering. I made the 3 for BM to give him a choice. Not a lot of cards stockpiled at the moment. I just haven’t been making them over the last year or so. Possibly because my craft stuff is unevenly distributed throughout the house and not so easy to access.

A few quick and oh so satisfying makes with cotton yarn.  I followed the Greedy for Colour Christmas Bauble tutorial at the start and then kind of winged it at the end. I also added a few beads for an extra dimension.
