Emma top update

Crazy week so did not post much.  Yesterday was my Friday, and today is the start of a holiday weekend.

I am making progress on the Emma Top and I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised.  This top has a lot of gathers-front and back neckline and even the sleeves at the neckline.  I took some photos of how I am handling the gathering of the fabric and will post those later.

I am off to get a mani/pedi.  More later.

    1. Kathy, these patterns are quite different from Burda in that they come in one size only, which can be a challenge. I like the paper used to produce the pattern, easier to trace off of. The shipping charges from Australia to US is pricey but pattern price itself is good. I found this pattern to be a challenge only in that the instructions say match to markings on pattern and I think some markings are missing, and took a little bit to match the collar to bodice. This may prove to be a struggle for a beginner. Otherwise my first top is a winner.
