Renfrewitis

I'm a little late to this party...

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!
