I just can't stop making these cold shoulder tops and I another cold shoulder pattern I am working on.
I love this look, it is fun and trendy and I want to be part of the trend.
This time it is a knit pattern, Simplicity 8337, a knit top with bodice and sleeve variations. For my fabric I used this beautiful Mood Fabrics' black and red floral printed jersey, which is just so wonderful. It feels great and has a good drape.
Things to note with this pattern, there is a center front seam. Simplicity probably designed it this way for View A with the front ruffles and to make the v-neck easier to construct.
Also, I made a medium but I took it in quite a bit.
Also, you can see my band on the top of the sleeve is a bit stretched. The pattern envelope shows this band hugging the shoulder. Honestly, I like the way it looks in my photo.
Some changes for next time
I am making between a small and a medium
I will eliminate the center front seam
I have been working on my knit tops this summer and trying out some different patterns, well this one might become part of the rotation for a basic t-shirt. This Simplicity pattern has the option, View D, of regular sleeves. I really like how this one fits and with the slimming the fit of the body it could be a perfect t-shirt.
I did add an inch to the length of this, just the usual change for me.
Check out my other cold shoulder makes:
