...have you ever sewn a garment just to see if you could handle it, or to learn a particular technique. Well such was the case of this pattern
Jalie 2921 Knit Scarf Neck Top
I've had this pattern for about seven years and I did make it once way back then. My curiosity got the best of me, and I just couldn't resist the temptation of learning more about the burrito technique of attaching the scarf collar to this top. I just wanted to find out if I was capable of making this top successfully, and I did do just that. The only problem with the first top I made was that I used 5/8" seam allowances rather than 1/4" so the results were a little snug. Fast forward to this week when I wanted to use this particular knit fabric (gifted by Diane Osborn) for a top.
This is such an interesting technique. Would you believe that the entire top is encased in this scarf tube?
I received a much better fit this time around because I actually read the directions better and used the right seam allowance.
In addition to reading the directions I actually found this great YouTube video that shows exactly how to put the entire top together. This made my job a breeze.
One of the best things about completing a project (no matter how simple) is being freed up to make yet another project.
What interesting projects are you freed up to sew????
