Another knit top!

I finally got my sewing mojo back after moving into the new apartment. It's been nine months, so I'm really happy to be seriously sewing again! (As you can maybe tell from all the stuff I've been making the last few months!)

Here's my latest shirt, McCall's 6120 in some kind of super slinky knit stuff from Hilco.

With this version I eliminated the weird under bodice band that the pattern has, and I added the stretch lace to give it a little more modesty. One of the ladies at church (Nahid, for those of you who know her) gave me a bag of stretch lace in several different colors. There was only a small piece of the off-white, so I only had enough to do around the bodice. If I had more I would have put another piece under the bodice sewn into the seam. But anyway...

Oh, can you see that tiny bit of lace sticking out of the bottom? I used one piece of the stretch lace and some blue jersey to make one of those shirt extenders to give a little extra coverage for low rise pants. 

I entered this shirt, plus all the others I've blogged this month into the Spring Top Sewalong. This year there aren't any prizes, but one of my shirts already showed up on Made by Rae's showcase of tops. Yay!
