Good luck with yours. :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023115170916061414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220148418489217731.post-4023312357918900462020-08-29T00:12:58.778+10:002020-08-29T00:12:58.778+10:00I wonder if you are still sewing?

I too had to set it aside after having to drape it, and do all the things you have done to get it sized correctly. <br /><br />You did a great job, and should either take this top apart or just lay it down and compare what you did with the original pattern, and make those changes to it. It seems so hard, but this is where I am in the process. I just need some help on the side seam with the gathers. My gathers don't hang correctly. <br /><br />It doesn't sound like this pattern will give me anything to fix that. Thanks for this insight to the work. I will keep trying to adjust and correctly slash and spread my pattern. <br /><br />My trial top fits great and looks good on. I love it and want to fix the issues and have a pattern I can reuse. Thanks for sharing your experience.

You might find after tackling a few more new patterns that it might be nice to come back to something you have already done some work on (traced, cut out etc...) ?Kate Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280648847345150670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220148418489217731.post-45864484301082397362009-05-24T21:19:25.489+10:002009-05-24T21:19:25.489+10:00It looks perfect!

Even if it is totally boring. :)Sew-4-Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340344934860568228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220148418489217731.post-78080372982635741322009-05-18T03:11:00.000+10:002009-05-18T03:11:00.000+10:00Well, the results were good for all that work.
