THE HORROR: NECKLINES ARE THE DEVIL I TELL YOU!

Yes, you got me this time, but I am coming for you and I will be the victor.  I will conquer you!  Be prepared for defeat.  

I've been working on some of my Pinterest Inspiration projects.  As I find garments that I want to recreate I quickly pin them to my "Things I want to Sew" board on Pinterest.  I have been eyeing this top for months, and finally I found (already had actually) the perfect fabric to recreate this look. 

 Here:

The Top is found here:  Sugar Love Boutique.

The fabric is a very stretchy Jersey Knit.  Its been in my stash for months but I never paid much attention to it until just recently when I saw this top.  

Ok so now come the issue, THIS NECKLINE.  Here is my version so far and OH my the neckline is is killing me:

Needless to say, I am going to take this apart and redo it.  I can't stand it and it is going to cause me all kinds of angst and heartache.

Happy Sewing!

  1. Hello Melanie, I don't know if you already tried this trick but I usually cut my neckline fabric for knits smaller than even the pattern suggests for a closer fit. I usually just ease it on and it comes out just fine. Hope this helps. The top is looking pretty much like your inspiration piece.
