Thumbhole Obsession

Ever since I put on my first long sleeve running top with thumbholes, I've been a bit obsessed.  It sure beats tugging down your sleeves to cover half your hand.  And I'm not the only one, it seems.  Thumbholes are poppingupeverywhere!


size:  10
mods:  added thumbhole cuffs

  
MG has taken over the other Bimaa top that I made (BK and collars or high necklines do. not. go together very well).  I knew the size 10 would not be slim fitting on MG but that was okay since this is a layering piece.  And I was too lazy to trace off the size 8.;)


I made new cuffs that were longer than the pattern, marked where the thumb openings needed to be, and sewed.  When I stitched the cuffs to the sleeves, I placed the thumbholes 1 1/2" forward of the sleeve seam.



Though it doesn't show up so well on the microfleece, I used a decorative stitch around the hood edgein thread that matches the cuffs and hem band.


Now MG is ready to go running with me on cold days...and we'll match!
