KNITorious Lesley Flutter Top Sew A Long: Day Three

I waited to post this last day for a bit to try to get some more people to comment, so hopefully a few more people made this awesome shirt! I'm definitely going to make more of this one!

Last few steps were just pretty much hemming. Hem the sleeves, sew up the sides and hem the bottom! I actually messed up my sleeves a bit so they turned out a little wonky. I might actually trim them off and re do them, but for now, it is what it is!

 My finished shirt!

Things I would do next time: blind hem on neck and bottom, flutter or regular hem on sleeves. And make the body side seams go up a little farther. Currently I'll have to wear a tank top underneath it, so I'd like to make the seams higher to cover a bit more!

That's all! Show me what you made!!

KNITorious Lesley Flutter Top Sew A Long: Day Two

Today is neck hem and shoulders! Page 5 steps 7-11! I decided to do my usual blind hem  neck. I think that it makes for a nice looking hem and is super simple! See last months sew a long for some more info on how to do it. I use it on like everything. It looks way fancier/harder than it is!

So the pattern gives you two options, or you can be a rebel like me and do it your own way! So many options!

Once you sew your neck hem on both pieces, we're going to sew up the shoulders! So match your shoulders right ride together and seam them up! Here's what's I've got so far. Forgive my "retro"" flooring haha

If you lay it out flat, it'll look like a poncho!

I won't be adding a contract band to the bottom, but if you want steps on doing that just let me know!
See you next time!

KNITorious Lesley Flutter Top Sew A Long: Day One

Welcome back everyone!

 

This sewalong we're going to be working with the awesome Seamingly Smitten!! We will be sewing her Lesley Flutter Top for Women. That's right, it's time for some selfish sewing! I don't know about you guys, but I rarely sew for myself! So let's start with the usual:

 Print the pattern out!

 Be sure to measure and check your size also!

I decided on the jellyfish fabric that I had on hand! I love it so much, the colors are so beautiful!
After I printed my pattern, I taped it all together. I'll be honest, it's very possible that I printed it wonky, bc my lines didn't totally match up. But I didn't feel like re printing, I know I'm terrible.

 Anyway, i'm all cut out now!

And I think it's going to be beautiful! Post your pictures on facebook below this post and show me your cut out project or fabric selection!!


Thanks!!
