Can’t stop wearing it!

I had spotted the Busan top and put it on my wish list absolutely ages ago, so when the pattern went on sale last year I popped it in my basket! I wear a lot more jeans and jumpers now I don’t work in a professional environment, so I knew it would be a welcome addition to my wardrobe. I wanted to sew the top in a solid colour to show off the details and I thought a heavier weight fabric would hold the shape of the sleeves nicely, so I picked some ‘cosy colours’ sweatshirting in a lovely teal colour for my project.

This is the first time I have used an Itch to Stitch pattern and I thought it was very well-drafted with nice clear instructions and illustrations. I checked the size chart and finished garment measurements very carefully and chose to make the size 2. I really like the fit of the top – it’s not too lose or tight and the proportions work well for me. It was a super quick sew and only took a couple of hours to whip up on my overlocker and the construction was very straightforward.

I actually made my Busan top back in January and I have already lost count of how many times I have worn it! It’s super comfy and cosy, but still looks like you’ve made a bit of an effort compared to a plain sweatshirt – result! I’ll be keeping my eye out for some more sweatshirting to make another version very soon.
