Today has been very productive sewing wise. I decided to make another Vogue 8669 now that I have got the pattern tweaked to for a better fit. I had some black crepe knit in my stash, acquired from Les Fabrique in Charlottesville, VA. It is at least three years old. I love the rich black color of this knit and the texture. I had enough of this fabric to make two tops. So the second top I made was Pamela's Perfect T-shirt pattern #104.
I was surprised about the fit of the Pamela's Pattern. I had made one from this pattern before, but it was huge. I decided to give it a try again though and went with the small due to high bust measurement and then made a one inch FBA. This turned out well. I did use the front pattern piece with the dart. This resulted in a good fit.
I wear a lot of black for my job. I never seem to have enough black tops., either RTW or custom made by me. One of my favorite black tops is one I made from a Sandra Betzina pattern that it is now looking fairly worn. I decided to give it to Goodwill.
So now I have two new tops to start the new year. Photos later.
