Lara had this illness a while back as did many other garment-sewing ladies, so much so that a term was coined for it... Renfrewi-itis!
It relates to the sewing of various versions of the Renfrew top from Sewaholic patterns, and I really did find you can't stop at just one...

| After seeing this pic I removed the vertically striped band and replaced it with a horizontal one |
So I didn't!
I tried it out in two styles - the round and the V-neck and they were equally easy to put together.
 |
| I can see myself wearing this one a lot, I have a thing for red, can you tell??!! |
They are great 'basic' T's that fit well into my casual school-mum wardrobe.
They are comfortable and quick and easy to sew up and I can see that there will be many more Renfrew's in my future.
The only thing I regret is that it took me so long to get onto making this pattern.
I got mine from Sarah at Sew Squirrel - she's in Australia and so they got to me super-fast and she's lovely to deal with, so order one from her if you are going to buy it!

Both tops look great but I LOVE the red one!
They're great - what a fantastic fit - and how lovely to see your face :)
Love it! I have another go to pattern but these look great on you
They're looking great! Glad to see that you've done some "selfish sewing".
Oh, but I love the contrasting stripe trims - you look fabulous! x
Very nice. I like the band at the bottom, finishes it off nicely
haha, you're gone! I love them- I've done 5 or 6 now, so comfy! I'm eyeing off the Cordova jacket next....
Looks great Karen. I'll have to try the short sleeved.
So nice!! I have made one two, and I just love the sewaholic pattern.
Haha, I made a short sleeve version in the same stripe (that I got from you!). It is my only short sleeve version so far. Must make more!
clever lady ... i know you say you follow patterns but you know how to pick fabulous fabrics & how to use them & your execution is spot on!... that's your tweak! you're so inspiring xo
