Inspiration...Funnel Neck Box Top

 Fall is here.  It is really time to think about cool weather clothes.  This top would be perfect:

This is the Eileen Fisher Diagonal Striped Funnel Neck Box Top.  Price tag: $278.00.  Details:  High neckline, long sleeves, boxy silhouette, pullover style, 22" long from shoulder to hem.

This type of top could be a real day-to-day, live-in top.  My first thought of pattern was this one:

This is Seamwork Ace funnel neck top pattern.  For me, this pattern is a little bit fitted.  However, you could go up a size for a less fitted look.  Seamwork is a subscription service.  You can purchase yearly, monthly, or individual patterns. Following the Seamwork link will give you $3.00 off and I will get a small benefit also.

Here's a couple of additional options:

This is The Toaster Sweaters pattern by Seven House Seven.  The sweater on the right is much like the inspiration pattern. 

This is Simplicity 8529.  It is also a design by Seven House Seven and very similar to the Toaster Sweater.

Now, you have a few options for making a similar top.  Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful.  By the way, if you have a similar top already in your pattern stash use it.  Save those dollars for the fabric.

Happy Stitching!
