What the pattern designers did is eliminate the shoulder seam, extended the back over the shoulder and put a seam where a front yoke might be. From your side view picture, it appears the sleeves were sewn in using the yoke line as the shoulder point (top of shoulder). If it were my top I would try to save it. I would pull out the back pattern piece and look for the big dot that indicates the shoulder point. I suspect the dot will be about 1 to 1.5 inches towards the back from the front yoke seam. That is where the top of the sleeve should match, not the yoke seam. Sleeves sewn it with the top rotated towards the front of the garment would definitely cause the top to constantly creep to the back as the sleeves are trying to position themselves on the shoulder correctly. I don't have the pattern so I may be off base and the pattern is just poorly designed.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776677535803700660.post-79289228994383111832013-02-13T16:29:29.224-08:002013-02-13T16:29:29.224-08:00We all have those garments that just don't mak...We all have those garments that just don't make it into our wardrobe.

And even sitting back the cowl is way to low. Your right; it's a learning experience.

The front is lower than the back. It must be related to the back drape at the neck and you have it on the form the way you would want to have it sit on your body.<br /><br />If you were able to wear it sitting back on your shoulders, would the cowl still be too low? Never mind, it's a learning experience..... (ie Wadder)<br />LynnLynn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723348080918643965noreply@blogger.com
