I've been looking at my closet lately wondering how I managed to barely have enough tops to make it through 5 days before they have to be washed. It's been time to sew some more shirts. Sunday I sat down with the Day Tripper sewing pattern and whipped up this little number. It's perfect for lounging around or just having an average day.

Pattern:
Day Tripper Top by Shwin Designs (part of the Just Add Jeans Collection)
Fabric:

Pattern Options:
I chose short sleeves and the button tab. I just sewed the button to both layers and didn't make a button hole.

Medium tapered to a Large at the hips. There are instructions in the pattern for how to do this.

Wow! Stef from the Girl Inspired sewed all 4 Just Add Jeans tops. Incredible! I can't decide which is my favorite!! See them here.

That is such a cute top.
Andrea says
Thank you, Ronalee!

That shirt looks great on you Andrea! I printed it and taped it last night! I just cannot decide long or short sleeves!
Andrea says
Do both! I've got another long sleeve one and it's so comfortable!
Heather T says
Love this shirt! I need to make a few so I have something cute to wear after baby!
Andrea says
You do!!
Susanne says
Wow, that last photo ... gorgeous lady. The top looks great too 😉
Have printed all four patterns as well but now can't decide which one to start first...
Elizabeth says
I love the top and it looks great on you! I just made the long sleeve version of this yesterday using sweater knit and it is so comfortable! I can't wait to make more.
Delia says
Girl. You are so cute. Love how to styled it with those glasses and leather jacket.
Andrea says
Thank you, Delia!
Shauna says
Love it! Those glasses are adorable! I love the jacket as well and it looks great on you!
Andrea says
Thank you, Shauna!

This turned out great! I know the pattern calls for ribbed knit for the hem and sleeve bands, but I see lots being made with the main fabric. Both look great, but does one work/wear better than the other?
Andrea says
Thank you! As long as your main fabric is really stretchy it will work fine (probably at least 50% stretch). Otherwise I'd stick to rib knit like the pattern suggests.
Cat says
What length did you make? I'm really tall and can't decide if I need to add length ...
