I am quite please with how my blouse came out, even with the wonky neckline. I thank you all for your suggestions on how to make a better knit neckline, and will be practicing these methods.
I decided I didn't want my neckline as wide as the original.
Quick Overview:
I used McCalls 6886 for the body and sleeves. Instead of contouring as the pattern piece is constructed I boxed it and took out the contour. The neckline, cuffs, and waistband was made of Ponte Roma Knit. In hindsight, I should have used a not so tightly woven knit.
Happy Sewing!
That is a fabulous top, great job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great copy!!! Way to go :)
ReplyDeleteGreat top! I like the way you made changes to the neckline and to the overall fit.
ReplyDeleteI think it's an awesome copy too! Plus you've learned some new things to use in future garments. A win win to me!
ReplyDeleteOkay Mel...you go ahead and work this "Their" "Mines" series...I love it! That's a REAL good copy. One thing is for sure, the original is not perfect either. I think it looks FAB-U-LOUS on you and is a testament to your creativity. Nice work!
