Today's inspiration is all about casual.
This is the Merin Virgin Wool Polo Top by Akris Punto. Price tag: $730.00. Details: color blocking, collared v neckline, relaxed fit, hip length, pullover style
I love the look of this top but I would not want to deal with the wool. That we why we sew, right? Here is a pattern that does a good job duplicating the style of inspiration:
This is the Frankie Polo by Love Notions. The pattern comes in 2 lengths with 3 sleeve lengths. It is meant for a knit fabric but the collar and placket can be done in a woven.
This pattern can easily be color blocked like the inspiration photo. This is where the whole scraps of knit can easily be used. It would be harder to find a collar similar to the inspiration photo.
Wawak carries solid colored rib collars. I also found collars and cuffs at this Etsy store. Maybe you can find other suppliers. Of course, this type of matching can be harvested from clothing as well. Just make sure it is in good condition.
Hope you are inspired to sew something wonderful.
Happy Stitching!
