This time around I used the pattern sleeves, simply shortened by 5cm, and I did not line this version. I also followed the instructions and used bias binding on the neckline. I was a little worried how this would work out but it worked just fine.
Project Details
Pattern: Vogue 8815
Fabric: Red Mazzetto Ponti (Digital Printed) from Tessuti Fabrics
Alterations: Size 16 at top graded to size 18 at waist, shortened sleeves by 5cm, lowered the bust darts by 2.5cm
For the first time ever yesterday, I was spotted in the street and recognised as "Sew Brunswick". It was quite funny and surreal.
I have another version of this top cut out and ready to go. Next up a red & white polka dot without sleeves.

both of your peplum tops look lovely.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask - is the pattern for wovens and have you adapted it for knits ?
Thanks Janine. The pattern is for wovens. The blue version was lined so I treated it like a woven. This version is not lined but I just made it up as per the instructions. I even did the zipper and binding as directed and it turned out really well.
DeleteI have this pattern and plan to use a knit. I like the look of the shorter sleeves.
ReplyDeleteThis looks spectacular! I must admit to not loving florals but the fit and drape of this top is making me love them here. Awesome :D
