Hi! Can you tell me please, are the armholes a cut-in design? The sketch doesn't look so but the modeled photos do. Thanks, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy. The armholes are ever-so-slighty cut in. The model that we used is quite broad shouldered so it looks more pronounced in these images. Hope that helps!
DeleteThe Brigitte pattern is fantastic! I've been looking for a retro bateau neck top, to try my hand at sewing stretch knits, after decades of working with wovens. I loved the instant gratification of whipping up a top in an afternoon!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is simple and your instructions are very clear. I printed out the pattern at Officeworks to one AO sheet, to save myself the cutting & pasting. My fabric is a lovely cherry red jersey which stitched up beautifully.
I love your tip for twin needle top-stitching to mimic a professional cover stitch finish. This worked a treat on my Bernina.
Thanks again Collette and girls! I will be whipping up a few variations, tout de suite!
