I didn't have quite enough to do the full set of gathers in the CF either. Now I'm stuck with a bit less gathering there, because I had already cut out the rest of the top. I really wish I had done the CF first and had fewer/no gathers on the CB. (Just FYI, I had almost 1.5 yards of fabric and 1.75 would have been perfect).
This top looks really voluminous in flat pattern sage. I was hoping for a slimmer profile like in the magazine photo. I'm glad I used a relatively thin interlock!
Back to school for me today, so we're back on "after school and weekend" time frames. It's Monday, people!
Wow! Back in school already? I can't believe they didn't give you Monday off at least.
ReplyDeleteI love the turquoise color you are using! So fun.
I'm working on the same top!!! Too funny! Although I have had nothing but problems so far...forgot to add the seam allowances when tracing, could NOT figure out how much clear elastic I needed for gathering...completely did the yoke lining wrong...the list goes on and on....BUT I'm hoping to have it finished up today....so we'll see if all those mistakes actually yield a wearable product LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the turquoise and well done to find an Octtobre pattern worth cutting cloth.
ReplyDeleteThis one's next on my list after 5-2010-6. Interesting about the voluminousness, I think (especially at the upper ranges) Ottobre tends to have a lot of wearing ease in these tunic styles.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to pick a different color for my version, I had turquois in mind too! Great minds and all that...
I want to do more sewing from Ottobre this year - that's a really cute top. Can't wait to see it - what will you wear it with? g
