Plan for November Make a Garment a Month
My November project for the Make a Garment a Month Challenge is New Look 6779, a long sleeved knit I first made in 2004 as a short
sleeved tee. I like the back seam and the side seam shaping of this
pattern but the neckline has always been a bit wide. I usually make View D which is bottom left
so I have modified View C which is at bottom right. It is a boat shaped neckline which doesn't suit me so it won't be missed and I have added tissue and redrawn the neckline as round. I'm hoping it works. Since our summer is on its way this top will have short sleeves.

Oh, these are the stripes - if the fabric is firm enough it shouldn't be too hard to sew. Just watch the stripes at the bottom so that they too are where they should be!
ReplyDeleteIt's a neat little top :)
The fabric has lycra in it and is very stretchy, but the walking foot and a lot of pins has helped. The top is finished except for the neckline which I forgot to consider when I altered it. Have been rummaging through my knitwit and kwik sew books for help today.
DeleteGreat plans - looking forward to seeing the top - and yes - isn't the walking foot the BEST!!!
