I finished Jalie 3352 and was able to take a few photos before work yesterday when I wore the top.
Here is the top on a hanger--

I used my coverstitch machine to hem the bodice and the sleeves. I used my serger for the garment. The knit fabric was perfect to work with. I used bias fusible tape at the neckline and a woven tape for the shoulders.
I did not have to make a FBA; I did take 5/8 swayback adjustment and raised the neckline as well.
Here are photos of me wearing
I have to say I am a little tired of the high/low hemline style. I think I am going to take a break from sewing that style for next top sewing projects.
It was fun to complete a project and have already decided on the next one. More later.
Oh I was going to the Hi- Lo hems look good but I have only made one top like this . I always love your choice of colourful or patterned fabrics for your clothes . Looking forward to seeing your future sewing ! Cheers Janine.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janine! I like the hi-lo hems, it is just that I have made several of that style recently and want to do something different.
DeleteThis looks lovely - and so does the dropped shoulder. I do agree though, they are not as nice to wear as a set in sleeve. On the plus side, you can always recut this shape when you are tired of it. I'm with you about the hi-low hem thing - I still like them, but more on shirts and shirt dresses, not on everything, as we have been seeing. I notice now there is a straight version of the hi-lo hem which looks quite good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah Liz!
DeleteVery nice,Linda! The combination of the print with the plain sleeves is spot on!
