Today I thought I'd share a few more details on the blog as I was limited to just 300 words, 和 I still have 很多 more to say about it. Plus it will give you something to read if you're lazing around, browsing your blog feed 和 eating chocolates (or is 那 just me?!)
简洁8260 is an easy-to-sew top in two lengths, with a choice of sleeve options 和 an unusual cross over back.
这是一种优雅,悬垂的风格 很轻松,因此建议您根据 完了 测量值而不是您的实际测量值。根据身体 测量图 I was a Medium (14-16), but I went ahead 和 cut a size Small (10-12) with no regrets. 当我在12月审查这种模式时,我认为长袖版本会是最适合天气的(尽管我非常喜欢无袖版本的外观), 和 I chose the longer length (view B). The pattern requires minimal fitting 和 I made no changes to the pattern. The only thing I would mention is 那 the full length sleeves are quite fitted. I personally prefer this, but you 可能 want to add a bit of width if you don't like such a tight fit.

There are only three pattern pieces (two if you go for the sleeveless option) 和 no darts or fastenings, so construction is 非常 simple. One thing to 不e is 那 the back pieces are cut on the bias 和 liable to stretch out. I'd recommend stay stitching these edges before you begin to prevent this happening. The two back pieces are crossed over each other 和 basted together to form one piece 和 the sleeves are inserted flat, so 整个顶端很快就聚集在一起。 The pattern recommends using bias tape to finish the back opening edges 和 hems, but I didn't actually finish mine this way. I bought some lovely metallic bias tape which I didn't use in the end, as it ended up distorting the edge of my lightweight fabric. 我用狭窄的翻折下摆代替了边缘。
The fabric was quite sheer 和 any hem rippling around the neckline would have been really apparent, so I drafted a simple facing instead, using the front 和 back pattern pieces. This gave a much cleaner finish to the neckline. I also used French seams throughout.
The fabric itself was rather lovely 和 came from
布点,这是一个崭新的在线布料商店,精心挑选了各种华丽的制衣面料。叫做
水星下降 和 is a fluid, metallic-silvered lightweight 绉. All of the fabric descriptions on the site are 非常 detailed (which I appreciate) 和 they even include a video clip of this particular fabric in motion! It's supposed to be hand washed to avoid damage to the metallic in the fabric... I simply crossed my fingers 和 machine washed it on the hand wash cycle. A
小 bit of metallic in one corner came away, but otherwise there were no ill effects. It does require quite careful handling - don't forget to stay stitch bias edges as pointed out above, 和 be vigilant when pressing hems to avoid rippling. I needed a fabric with a fair amount of glitz, 那 also had some drape to it 和 I have to say, 水星下降 delivered on both counts.

The fit of the top is a bit of a departure for me (the shoulders are dropped 和 没有 造型),我非常喜欢它带来的优雅效果。我也喜欢这样的事实,它的正面很简单,但是转向背面,有一个派对正在举行。我必须承认,我还没有穿破顶部,所以无法证明跨界鞋的耐磨性。图案信封上的背面似乎比我的版本更深,这可能归功于巧妙的摄影。如果我感觉自己穿着医院的袍子,我可能最终会把后背钉在一起。我将对此进行报告!
如果您正在寻找一个快速,有趣的制衣项目(如果像我一样省略斜纹带,则可以更快),那么这种模式是理想的选择。正如我在评论中所说,ust add a pair of slim trousers, heels 和 a big necklace 和 you’re party ready! 而且,如果您已经有了当年的派对配额,那么您可以随时在英国1月中旬的凄凉中为自己加油打气!祝你有美好的一天。 X
