Just like version #1, this top doesn't need much fitting, which makes it a super easy, instant gratification kind of project.
It's really interesting how different sewing tools can make certain tasks easier... or not. As I mentioned, I started off using my narrow hem foot to finish the hem and sleeves. On paper this seemed like a good idea, but the fabric (maybe because of how slithery charmeuse can be?) did not cooperate. It refused to curl into a neat little hem. So, in the end, I pressed a double fold and then just stitched it with a regular foot. It looks good. On the flip side, I finished the seams and the inside edge of the cowl with my new serger. And that went swimmingly! I feel like the insides look so very neat and professional.
Anyway, I'm not sure I'll make this pattern again, since I now have two versions of this top. But I do highly recommend it.
Happy sewing everyone!
It certainly looks nice on! I just got a narrow rolled hem foot and it worked great with some silk charmeuse which I practised on. It's funny how sometimes things work and sometimes they don't and sometimes it's hard to see what the difference was!
ReplyDeleteGreat top! I'm playing with my new serger also, isn't it fun?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I'm loving my serger!
ReplyDeleteKaren - I'm going to have to re-read my instructions and go back to practicing. So frustrating! This foot should be making my life easier. Sigh.
That top is beautiful. Love it.
