DIY Funnel Neck Top – Review of the Piper Top by Christine Haynes

DIY Funnel Neck Top – Review of the Piper Top by Christine Haynes

Hi friends! When I moved to Southern California, I really never thought that I’d be wearing, let alone making a turtleneck ever again. I had some favorite turtleneck tops that I love but every time I wore them I’d become incredibly over heated. But after moving to the west side of LA, I’ve been so cold. So, a long sleeve, high neck shirt was called for. Plus, I’ll be going to Copenhagen this spring and I plan to bring this as one of my layering pieces (see more about my travel wardrobe plan here).

DIY Luau Racerback Tank - Review of the Rumi Tank pattern

The racerback silhouette has become a staple in my wardrobe over the last few years. There's really no better way to show off all those push ups and lat pulls than a racerback top. So of course when Christine Haynes released the Rumi Tank/Dress I had to snatch it up. This pattern is the first in a new collection she is developing of quick to sew patterns (yay! just my style!) called Chop Chop.
