For the most part it was OK; I've fitted my pattern to need minimal stretch in the knit. But when combining different fabrics, some with obviously more stretch than others, sewing in the sleeve becomes problematic. It took me several attempts to get it halfway decent, and so I left it and moved on.
It's not perfect, but I was over it by this stage, and couldn't see how I could get it any better. It feels nice to wear and I'm pretty happy with the fabric combination, too.
I've got nothing further to say...same pattern as the previous 2 versions, used techniques learnt in the Tilton sisters' class on Craftsy, yada yada...
Up next is a wrap dress made from (appropriately stretchy) knit. I'm currently deciding between this pattern (Ottobre 05/2013/07)
and this pattern (Petite Plus Easy Wrap Dress) - with a 3/4 sleeve

I like the ottobre one, but there is so little difference in design that it probably boils down to which one you prefer to sew. Still loving that tee-shirt.
ReplyDeleteI'm giving the Ottobre one a try, but I'm extending the front panels to make it a 'faux-wrap', like the Petite Plus dress. I think I would feel a little more secure.
DeleteGreat tee. That fabric is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks, BeaJay. It was a lucky find (and an impulse purchase!).
DeleteFun top! I especially like the shape of the neckline. I've been thinking about making a faux-wrap dress; hope yours turns out well.
