Thank You! Yes, I cut a size 10, sewed 5/8&quot; seams on my knit fabric(s) at the shoulders and armscyes. Because I was afraid this would be a little too &#39;boxy&#39;, I took 5/8&quot; in under the arm(s) tapering down 5&quot; to the edge of the fabric, then minimal seam allowance for the rest of the seam. As a pear shape, I need that little &#39;extra&#39; at the hemline. I only sewed a 1/4&quot; seam allowance on the arm seams with my serger as I&#39;ve found NEWLOOK patterns are a little tight on me there. With all the seams I came back with my serger, using its differential feed and cutting blades, to serge the seamlines and tidy things up after checking for fit. Hope that helps! Good luck with your top..... I absolutely love mine and will be making it again.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-16962050768848242452015-02-10T00:51:10.373-05:002015-02-10T00:51:10.373-05:00You look great! I am about to start this pattern too. The directions say to use a 5/8 seam. It seems unusual for knit fabric. Did you use 5 / 8 seam?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325677070958262161[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-523384297920704262015-01-28T16:18:33.086-05:002015-01-28T16:18:33.086-05:00Thank you so much Carolyn!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-57894574790952893212015-01-28T16:18:06.650-05:002015-01-28T16:18:06.650-05:00Thank you Tracy!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-14100814497255160462015-01-26T00:28:22.043-05:002015-01-26T00:28:22.043-05:00Your top looks so pretty!

The sheer as contrast would look so lovely in real life - I&#39;m sure the photo does not do it justice. I like the boat neckline on this top - it does seem to sit nicely on you.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-61584824320395951272015-01-20T19:00:21.747-05:002015-01-20T19:00:21.747-05:00The garments you&#39;ve been making for yourself look SO much better on you than on the models on the fronts of the patterns!<br /><br />According to a sewing show on TV I happened to catch this past weekend, the un-hemmed, rolled edges on the sleeves are &quot;in&quot; with the latest style.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247[email protected]
