and asked me to make her a shirt like this one. I thought about drafting my own pattern then remembered one in a Burda Magazine. Off I went digging through all the line drawings and I found 6/2008 #124
Pattern Description: Asymmetrical V-neck tshirt with side gathers.
Sizing: 34 to 42
Instructions: They were easy to follow and the pattern pieces were clearly marked for the gathering.
Likes/Dislikes: I liked the pattern was just what I needed to recreate a similar look to the NY&Co top. The fit and the finished look of the top were likes too.
Fabric: An ITY knit from Gorgeous Fabrics
Changes: I went from the v-neck to a round neck, elimnated the uneven hem and used the cap sleeves from Simplicity 4076. Also, I ended the gathering 1" from the hemline, I didn't want to stitch the hem through any gathering.
Conclusion: Another fun top for my daughter. She told me she liked it and I am waiting for her to wear it and see if I need to make any adjusments before I make another one.
I have one more top for Erin and it needs hemming, then it is my turn!
It's very much like the one she wanted. She must be pleased!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty, colorful top. You are on a sewing marathon, lady!
ReplyDeleteWow, I had totally forgotten about this pattern! Yours is beautiful. I just got some knits from FFC and needed some suggestions! :)
ReplyDeleteBoy, you sure have been busy! Cute top :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous details to make this a unique knit top. Great fabric, too.
ReplyDeleteA cute top. I love the colours of it. I also made a very similar top from burda for myself, but not this one. Great sewing blog:-)
ReplyDeleteLovely top, and such pretty fabric. I like the side gathers.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was how did you remember this top from 3 years ago but after seeing it made up I know why it left an impression. I'm sure your daughter will love it!
ReplyDeleteLori, Great looking top. I really like your version of this Burda. I think I will try it.
