This is my second review for the Sewaholic Renfrew top. I first made it in a dark purple boucle knit (see that one here), and this time I decided to go with a striped knit! While I absolutely love the fabric, it was kind of a bear to work with - stretchy, flimsy, slippery, and striped! Goodness!

The adjustments I made include lengthening the body of the garment by four inches, due to my being quite tall, and not including the sleeve cuffs, due to my being lazy. Ha ha ha

All said and done, it was a quick project and I will wear it all the time
