M7874 Complete

I finally finished M7874!  The first project of 2019. In good time as well as it is going from 70 degrees F to 51 today with overnight low of 27.

I plan to do a complete review but wanted to share a glimpse of the top.

This fabric is similar to scuba knit and was a challenge to sew at times because it is thick and at times I was sewing through 6 to 8 layers of fabrics when attaching the bottom band.

I like the band treatment and did find ways to reduce some bulk but still had to sew slow.  I used a universal 18 needle for this project and stitch lengths of 3 to 4.

More details to follow.

      Thanks Vanessa. I don't think I made it very clear, that is the band at the bottom. It would be a cute sleeve band.

      Thank you! I wore this top all day today without a coat and it felt very comfortable. I think even with a coat it will keep me warm.
