Stretch sewing - win!

I've been at home today due to allergies - I woke with a headache, itchy throat and itchy eyes, so I had no choice but to take some pills that were likely to make me drowsy. But, that meant I had the chance to brave the knit top pattern that I accidentally bought! I decided to try view D, which is a loose-fitting singlet top with a tie at the back.

Aside from the fact that it took WAY longer than the two hours it said on the pack (largely because I had no idea what I was doing), it turned out quite well. The only major unpicking I had to do was the hem, funnily enough (because the tension looked a bit screwy). It's not particularly attractive on the inside as I didn't really finish off the edges in the same way as was directed in the pattern (I kind of made it up a little bit as I went along), and it is a little big (even though it's the smallest size), but it worked!

John's not home until late tonight, so I tried my hand at taking some photos myself. Apologies in advance for the poor quality, but hopefully you'll get the idea! I'll do some close-ups later on when I can be bothered...
