I love the free pattern from Maria Denmark Sewing for the Kirsten kimono tee. It only takes a metre of fabric and is a nice wee simple chap with minimal binding and you can get away without twin needling some bits. But it isn't very flowey round the hem - it's quite snug. Which is great for tucking in, not so great for wearing outside jeans. So, I decided to hack it.
This is it made with the bottom traced from the Tilly and the Buttons Coco top. The fabric is from the Village Haberdashery - a nice drapey viscose.
Because of the drapey knit it doesn't hold its a line bottom but I kinda like it.
One for the holiday wardrobe! We're off to Crakehall in the Yorkshire Dales next month so tees, jeans and jumpers may be the order of the day! *g*
