Follow the pictorial steps to make this pattern
Front and Back Bodice for Sleeveless Drape Neck Knit Top. This is designed for knits only. The sample was made with a slightly stretchy ITY |
I use Best Press Spray for adding a little starch to my binding |
Pattern includes enough binding to do the neck and armholes. So you will always cut off the excess binding and save for the next opening to bind |
This is very important: Keep the shoulder seams rolling to the front as you're attaching the armhole binding. This design requires it!!!! |
Congratulations! You are done. Enjoy showing off your newest accomplishment.
I just bought this pattern on etsy. Excited to try it out, I can never find really good knit top patterns. If I like it I'll buy more, I love sewing with knits!!
ReplyDeleteHolly, here's a link on Craftsy if you want to adjust the pattern to increase the amount of drape. It's the 5th pic across.

Knits are my specialty. I'm 5'4" and 120 lbs, but I'm very muscular so nothing ever fits me. RTW Juniors is too tight and petite is too small and women's is too big. I make this top more than any other for all my clients. It looks great on every body type, it's especially flattering for a smaller bust. Happy Sewing!
ReplyDeleteOMG we might be twins. I have the exact same build, but I am blond! I'm making the top this afternoon I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the tips on adjusting the drape!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will fit you well then!! Please post a picture on ETSY when your done. I would love to see it. Cheers, Laurie
