This is a top I made previously but I did not bother to add the side zip because to be perfectly honest its pointless. The neck is wide so why add a zip you do not need?
Last time I made one of these I did add the zip. I suppose if you wanted to pose like the Burda magazine with the zip open it would be worth having but then the neck falls down off my shoulders so its really not worth having the zip unless you happened to use a very chunky one and it was there just for the look of it - a bit like punk rock bondage trousers. Then it would be worth having. For my purpose though which is to have a cozy warm top - no its a waste of effort and a waste of a zip. So this version doesn't have a zip.
Its been hot for the last few weeks where I live so I was surprised today when I ut this on to realise I was cold because this is a definitly warm cozy top and I am going to like this one I think. I like the previous version but tend to layer it.
I actually began making this top back in January but I decided it would look and work better with cuffs so I ended up waiting to finish it until I had some cuffing fabric. This is sweatshirt cuffing. And they turn back so can be long for winter or shorter as seen on the rest of these photos.
Oh and the jacket itself is the same faux fur as my coat lining.
You can see the back goes to a point with a high low hem.
Wonderful faithful hound here is my Roger. Hes a GSD x collie and is now 7 and very lovely.
Well today is the first chilly day for ages and to be fair until I popped this on for the photos I had npt noticed I was cold so no its not actually cold. Its summer in England!
And really this was made for wearing in winter although I suspect it will get quite a bit of wear the next few weeks if the weather stays dull and chilly so its going to be slightly more versatile than I expected by the looks of it. Have a lovely week and thanks for popping by,
Take care
Bracken
