another wiksten tova top

I absolutely love my flannel tova and have wanted to make another long sleeve version.  It also just so happens to be the perfect top for holding babies, since it’s snuggly soft and has no buttons or anything else to bother little faces.  This one came together just as easily as the rest!  To turn it into a long sleeve top I simply extended the sleeves straight down and excluded the cuff.  Next time I might try to shape them a little so they’re a big narrower at the wrist, but we’ll see.   I was too lazy to bring back the shoulder sizing on this one, but I swear I’m doing it next time (I’d increased the shoulder width by just a little too much with my original alteration but am too lazy to fix it on my pattern).  Please ignore my dirty mirror.  I’m sorry to say I actually cleaned it before taking this photo, too.  Just keepin’ it real over here I guess!  😛

Will gave me the best compliment on it when I asked him “do you like this shirt that I made while you were at school?”  “Oh!” he answered “I didn’t know you made it–I thought you bought it!”  Well played, young man, well played.
