My poor Alabama Stitch top had been sitting neglected on my sewing table. I was almost done with all the stitched outlining of the printed flower pattern, but I think it was wearing on me, which is why I put it down and knit a sock instead. Yesterday, I picked it up again, finished the outlining, and even sewed some seams. Mmmm, progress.
I also cut and sewed a non-muslin muslin for a top that I’ve been wanting to make out of my good fabric. Even though it’s just the muslin, it ended up being pretty wearable, and I wish I had taken the time to match the stripes in the back. I just didn’t really pay attention.

I sort of like the unmatched stripes. On some things I like to see the lines.
I want to see more of both of them!
I like the look of that stripy top. If the mismatch bothers you, just keep on moving so that no one has time to notice.
I’m so glad you popped over to my blog and left a comment since it led me here to yours. I’ve been combing through your posts, ooohing and ahhhing over the pretty tutorials and wondering how it is that I read so many sewing-related blogs and am such a worthless seamstress myself. I’m thoroughly enjoying my visit here. Thanks.
