I've had this pattern since it was first released, I think early in 2017. Though I liked it, I didn't make it because I actually thought it needed to be made in a sweater knit and I didn't have one that was suitable. Then Sheila mentioned that she made it in a regular knit (ITY or Jersey), of which I have plenty.
I eliminated the collar and installed a neckband instead. I used the single fold neck binding method from Lynda Maynard's book "The Dressmaker's Handbook of Couture Sewing Techniques" page 40
works perfectly for me every time so why do I even bother with others? No measuring, no formulas, no stretching, no rippling. I just start with a 30" 1 3/8" rectangular strip - stitch and cut off the excess. Works every time. I think this black ITY was perfect for this pattern. This was easy make, but attaching the gathered sleeve to the cuff (whee) that was a little rough...
It is so nice!! Now I am peepin' this top too! I love the gathered sleeve ends, and I see why you like it.
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty!!!! I love both of Sheila's too!
ReplyDeleteI thought both Sheila's were so pretty. The is a great pattern.
DeleteI love yours and Sheila's!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much!
DeleteLove this top...and those sleeves! I was also waiting to find the perfect sweater knit. I love that you used a knit!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great pattern and such a statement sleeve. The balloon is best gathered by hand with strong thread. I broke it up by doing 1/2 and then the other half.
DeleteHi Faye - Your new top doesn't look like a sweater at all. It looks like a stylish top! I love it! And after seeing your new top, I have to go check out Sheila's, too!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out really good and you are going to love the ones Sheila made. Wish I had some yellow fabric (lol).
DeleteTalk about Tops that Pop...well yours never disappoint! Can't wait to see it on you with the fabulous bottom I know you will make. Love yours and Sheila' s.
