Omg......yes , yes and YESSSS. That's exactly why I started back sewing I have a few perfectly fitting tops that I just love so much but never, ever find any that fits so perfectly , that's I told my husband I will have to sew my own . Girrrrrl , well that's exactly what I did . I have one I sew I practically lives in. You are just so right , I have to comment. I love your channel .

I really enjoyed this tutorial! You could use this concept with any standard top pattern. It would be so easy to use elastic in the front neckline (adjusted to the size you need) and just tack a tie to the front to make it look like a drawstring. It had never occurred to me to just make a portion of the neckline gathered like that. Really great video and really lovely tops!!!
@LiftingPinsandNeedles4 жыл бұрын
Yup. Any top with a dart somewhere. The sky is the limit. The elastic would be so much easier, but I wanted to push myself this time :)

Hi Karina. The red top is a great “copy” of the RTW. And it is definitely an improvement in many ways on the original. The finishing is much classier and the length and fit is superior. I also love the practice version. I particularly love that you cut the bird’s head off so you can’t tell it’s a bird on the back of practice top (lol. Just joking) 😏

@dale34043 жыл бұрын
Thanks for this video. I’m saving it for future reference. I also like the back seam because it makes for a more flattering fit. I think you could have sewn the casing with the tie inside and therefore have not needed to leave any opening which would need to be closed.

Thank you! I have just finished a dress I might never had tried, except for your tips and encouragement! It is made of a rayon challis and very "slinky - bendy."

So, I won't need a side dart at all even though I'm an F cup? I have made the Harmony top, and the full bust pattern required a 4" wide bust dart for me.
@LiftingPinsandNeedles4 жыл бұрын
For a larger dart, you could transfer part of the dart to the neckline and keep part of it on the side. I think it would distribute the space better. I’m only a C cup.
