I was thinking about this Kwik Sew pattern as I working on it and it seemed somehow familiar. And when I finished it and tried it on and it was just Meh. I've made a McCalls pattern, I think, several years ago and probably before I started blogging, that was very similar to this one. I didn't really care for it then either. I do have to say this about it. I was a fun make; I'd never inserted gussets before and all I have to say about is mark accurately. It goes together very easily. Something else; I don't like the 1/4 inch seam allowances. There's no suggestions for finishing seams. I used my serger on most of them. And boy was that fun around those gussets. LOL. It really looks like a nice tunic but its not something I'll wear. Soooo, my good sewing buddy Carol is now the recipient of a new top. SHE loves it. LOL.
Here's a couple pictures:
That's all I have for today. I'm going to see what other kind of trouble I can get into. LOL.
Lucky Carol! This top looks lovely with the gusset feature - such a pity you don't like this style of top. Enjoy your trouble-finding day ... J
ReplyDeleteHi Judith! Carol is most definitely enjoying her new top! LOL.
