After attaching the neckband, the right back shoulder area looks stretched out of whack. I snugged up the neckband on that side and it still stands away from my body but the left side fits as it should. I have decided that this top will be something I will wear around the house. I have spent enough time on it and I can say I learned something about fitting adjustments that I know now that I can use in the future. Thus I am ending this project and have decided to also end my cold weather sewing. It is still cold here in my neck of the woods, I am just ready to move onto spring sewing.
With today being March 1, it is time to begin work on my March Garment of the Month. I had previously posted that I would make a Vogue knit dress, that will be later in the month. I also signed up for the Intermediate Fitted Blouse Contest at Pattern Review; not the first time I have signed up for PR contests. I either don't finish in time or others use more patterns or use more fabric to win the stash and pattern contests.
Thus to meet both deadlines, I have decided to sew a blouse for the garment of the month.

Eh. Sorry the top didn't work. But like you, I tend to cut my losses and move on. A new and better prohect awaits! :)
ReplyDeleteI have other things I should sew but yep...I'm moving on to tees and shorts and dresses. I'm completely over this winter.
Today was in the upper 60's, loved it. Tomorrow calling for sleet and snow. The weather is crazy. I am so looking forward to spring.
DeleteI have that shirt pattern but have not yet made it up. One day perhaps. Look forward to seeing your version.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki. My first try with this pattern was a couple of years ago; hoping this version will turn out well also.
DeleteThis looks like a nice fitted blouse pattern for the contest! Looking forward to seeing the finished product on you!
