I bought the Winter 2011/2012 issue of the My Image sewing magazine after seeing Melissa from Fehr Trade's version. I had made a few muslins of different cowl top patterns looking for the one but since Melissa was so positive, I thought it was nearly worth making a wearable top straight away. I did choose to cut into this skin tone, not a great colour but with a lovely hand cotton lycra, because I wasn't sure about the sizing, as it is a lot smaller in the waist then my Jalie patterns.
It turned out awesome. Extremely quick too, being only a knit top.
The back view shows less wrinkles there than normal. Maybe I need to try reducing the waist ease on my other tees. The shoulders are a little wide,so I will make an adjustment for next time.
This photo is just me playing with new settings on Picasso. I took the photos before work so never got anything else than a hands on the hip shot.
Yes, awesome. I am off to look for that magazine.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention they have this magazine at the Crafty Mamas store.
DeleteI love cowl necks. Looks perfect for autumn.
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice! I actually really like the color on you. Definitely a keeper!
ReplyDeleteReally nice! I need to make another cowl neck or two. I agree, the back fit on this seems a little better on you than your Jalie tops (which aren't bad, of course, but if we're analyzing fit...)
