I skipped one day last week, so here is my final Friday Ensemble Backlog outfit. This one is cream (although I used white), black, and cognac. I kept it pretty simple because I wanted to feature my new handknit item. It's a cotton lace collar, sewn onto a modified storebought tank. You can see the original tank in the find below. I cut out the neckline and made the bust/armholes smaller to fit me better, and I sewed the handknit lace yoke to the neckline. It was quite a challenge for me since I'm not a very good seamstress (and I don't own a sewing machine so I did it entirely by hand.)

Here are the project details on Ravelry:
