Sandra Betzina's newest Today's Fit Vogue 1164 wrap top. This was the first time I ever ran out and bought a Vogue pattern without waiting for the $3.99 sale at Jo-Ann's. Hopefully the 40% off $16.50 will be enthusiasm and money well-spent. Honestly, can you believe Vogue's new price point of $27.50?!
Anyhoo, I'm trying it in a stash fabric first - a wild leopard print. And to make things even crazier, lined with TIGER tricot. "Hoo, Peggy!" you must be thinking. Actually, the pattern calls for a stretch mesh or tricot front lining. This was from the Wally-World $1/yard table a few years back. As was the leopard print. RIP, that crazy Wal-Mart $1 table and fabric department.
In the meantime, if this turns into a winner, if anyone has sources for (sedate) stretch mesh, please let me know. I've also emailed Sandra for her suggestions. Though I'm thinking she, too, would go with the tiger tricot! : )

You'd love this tiger print - it's bright shades of orange!
