Knit shell top

Pattern: Burda 12/2000, model 106A (part of a twinset)
Fabric: cotton t-shirt jersey with lurex thread

It was my first knit fabric piece I sewn in ages and I actually finished it! I used a cotton jersey without elastane which made things easier and elastic thread as bottom thread (terrible as top thread though). Seams aren't zigzagged inside as it didn't make sense, it would be more nicely finished if I had a serger. Neckline is finished with a facing, arholes with bias cut strip of fabric. Bottom is hemmed with an invisible stitch as I didn't have a double needle back then. I planned to sew matching cardigan from this pattern, as I still can get more of this fabric but now... I want to don't touch knits for a longer while after one top I actually did fuck up with wrong fabric choice.
