I traced the Square Neck Top pattern and plan to pin fit the pattern this evening. The fabric I plan to use has been in the stash for sometime. I searched my pictures of previous years fabrics and could not find it. I think that it may have come from Fabric Mart also. It is light floral print and I believe it is a cotton knit.
I have made the tweaks I posted about in my last post about the Bobbie Top from Jalie. I also cut out the fabric which is a black and white striped poly knit from Fabric Mart. I purchased this fabric along with several solid knits in 2013. Most all the solids have been sewn and this has been waiting for the right pattern. Hopefully I lined up the stripes well when cutting. I did eliminate the bust dart that I had in the first version. I was concerned that the dart would misalign the stripe matching at the side seams. I also made a 1/2 inch horizontal tuck in the upper chest and back as another tweak to this pattern. I think this will help bring the underarm seams up and a better look for me.
More later!
I've heard good things about Pauline Alice; hopefully that one works out for you. That square neck top is cute too. Amazing how many Indie companies there are!
ReplyDeleteI don't need as many dresses as I use to but I think these dresses can be casual or business depending on the view and fabric. It is amazing how many Indie companies there are.
