I raised the neckline a little.... but find the fitted-ness complimentary to my figure needs. Hope you like it too!

My so-called TNT New Look made at least 4 times has looked and fitted differently each time and never as nice as the first version. Oh well, I still like it best. I plan to compare it with NL 6735 which I have never used and see how it goes.

Knit fabric is unpredictable and this fitting issue happened to me sometimes ago. <br />Well, your final top look so lovely and I love the fabric color :)<br /><br />Almost forget to mention that I love your drawing plan in your last post. You have a cute way to follow your plan :)<br />Hana https://www.blogger.com/profile/05665357105932371193[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-11942517411651393412015-03-19T08:14:42.961-04:002015-03-19T08:14:42.961-04:00Not sure my attitude was so positive at the time! You are not kidding! Am also beginning to think the tried-n-true pattern is even more elusive as each will produce a different garment fit depending on fabric content and drape. Even wovens have different &#39;drapes&#39;. *sigh* Just when you think you&#39;ve begun to figure it out....!

I&#39;m kinda&#39; getting tired of knits and ready to sew with wovens for a while!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-48161673745531619012015-03-19T07:59:07.315-04:002015-03-19T07:59:07.315-04:00Give yourself so much credit for knowing how to change the top enough so it was acceptable! In my book that indicates quite a bit of expertise in itself. (I&#39;m betting now when you purchase fabric for a specific pattern, you&#39;ll be looking at it with a different eye. All for the good!) I learned a lot from this post, too.

The puddling of fabric is quite strange. I didn&#39;t know different knits could be so tricky. I know what you mean, I don&#39;t look at myself in the mirror much. On a number of ocassions I had dressed in the dark and went off to work only realising when I reached my office that I had worn my blouse inside out - and my husband did not even notice!opportunityknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117079481971682582[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-45848881047120472292015-03-18T23:42:27.446-04:002015-03-18T23:42:27.446-04:00I think you have run into the problem of different weight knits and different amounts of stretch. This may be a much more stable (not so stretchy) knit, and a bit thicker. Thicker knits do pucker around the elbow when it is bent. I find knits tricky to work with for just those sorts of reasons. I made one pattern up in three different knit fabrics, and each fits differently. Anyway, you resolved the situation to acceptable. I know the feeling - grand dreams flop! I keep the acceptables for homewear - this will be fine for casual Sunday coffee at home :)sarahlizsewstyle.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926[email protected]
