I'll make everything in Ponte Roma Knit if I could. As I have mentioned before, I am a Ponte Roma addict. So when I saw the top made by Erica Bunker, I new I had to make it in the Red and my beloved Ponte Roma.
I rarely take pictures in the clothing I make. First because I don't ever have anyone too take pictures of me, and secondly I just don't like take pictures. But I felt like my dress form did this top no justice, and I had to wear it so you could get an example of how it fell on the body. I really am pleased with how it come out. I do plan to make another.
Quickie Pattern Review:
Pattern: Vogue 8907 (View A)
Sizes: 14-20 - I cut the 14 my RTW is a 10.
Directions: Scale of 1-10 on difficulty, I would give it a 7.
Fabric: Red Ponte Roma Knit.
Changes: I didn't make any changes, but I did have to adjust a little/ For some odd reason, once my top was together, the front and back was not even. I think my drape overlapped on my shoulders a little too much. I didn't interface the neck and arm facings. The fabric has enough stability I thought, and it worked out well.
Would I make it again: Yes, I plan too, its already cut.
Happy creating.
