Hope everyone has had a good mother's day - even if you're not a mother! :)
I got to spend my day sewing. I started Simplicity 4096 - View A - Wrap top a couple of weeks ago and finished up the first muslin today.
I say first muslin because there is going to have to be at least one more.
Lesson #1: Pay attention to those reviews on Pattern Review.
I had read through a number of reviews on this pattern, but the part about there being a lot of ease in this view didn't stick. So, the top part of the top is about 4 sizes to big. Talk about a gaping mess!!!
It's so bad I can't even put a picture of it up - wouldn't be decent.
I did try out an idea for the side gathering which I think I will use again. Instead of using gathering stitches to gather the runched side, I used clear elastic tape pulled relatively taut to create the gathers. I think this worked pretty well and made the gathers more even than I could have done otherwise. I'll take a few pics on the next try to show what I did.
