Neefer, I don't think you have the "right" jeans for the total look! (kidding) It's an interesting top, especially the collar and your fabric looks ok from a distance.

Hey what are you thinking - you look better than the model! With a different fabric, this has lots of potential.

Ah man! MaryT beat me to it. I was gonna say you look even better!

I don't think they fabric is ugly at all, of course you know what you are happy with but I actually really like it! And i don't think it is too short for you either. With a longish tshirt underneath it I think it could be very cute. I know how you feel though, I have made some things that I just don't like.

I like it and think it looks nice on you. Would look nice with a black T.

It would work if you had a dress or mathchng top and bottom in the same solid color. You need to have a monchrome background to bring the sweater into focus. It is not essentially a bad style for you, just needs to have the right background. Nothing however will help the fact that you don't care for the fabric...

Ok, so I burst out laughing!! I think that with a tank top or camisole this design will work for you. Go ahead and sew the sleeve flat, Burda instructs sewing sleeves in the round for every pattern.

Neefer, it looks great! How about lengthening one of your TNT tees into a simple shift in black knit, and use it as a backdrop for this?

Well, I understand very well the thing of being put off by something you just (almost) finished :-). But I think you might give this one another chance.. The fabric isn't that ugly, and I think it looks pretty good on you altogether, it'd be much better with a t-shirt in a color you actually like. Come on, give it a chance :-)...

Great review, Jen...I think NL6898 with this collar would look great. Bummer that you're not happy with this fabric and style, after almost finishing it.

I had to read the entire review just to figure out why your sweater had only one sleeve. Wadder? or fashion statement?? :-) I understand why you feel like the sweater's gaping, even though it's the style - I'd be uncomfortable, too. Why waste valuable closet real estate on something you won't wear? Toss it!

You should definitely import that same neckline & collar to another sweater; it's great. I personally don't like this cropped and open style; it's too trendy for me. But, again, I love that neckline & collar (& sweater knit).

Hi Neefer thanks for this review - however I think the photo shows that the color and the fabric actually look great on you and this worn over like a solid darker neutral dress would look look upbeat but not too much . . . This is my 1st review of a review, also I certainly liked seeing the stages of construction and the facts of the process. I have a few of these little short jacket things in slinky fabric that I love and use a lot for travel, I got a sweater knit in zigaggy turquoise that I would love to make this in, so this was especially helpful to me.
