Twists are just too fun on a garment and this one has a great twist and a fun front.
This pattern is McCall's 7975 and I have had it since the release but didn't feel a need to make it until I saw Sew Shannon's leopard version. I pulled out my pattern, asked Shannon for some sizing advice and went to find some knit fabric. This is the only knit I have in my stash but it works, I bought it on the sale rack at Hobby Lobby.
Shannon mentioned she made a Medium but it was a bit big. Thanks to measurements on sewist's profiles on Instagram, I knew we were about the same size. I cut mine out between a small and medium. Next time I will make a small.
This fabric is so soft and I went with View C length minus the ruffle. The next one I will make a regular long sleeve for the winter.
The twist is a bit tricky but just take it slow and work through the directions. I did not add any length to this one. If you need a fun top with a fun twist, yep, I used a bit of a pun! I need to purchase more knit to make more.
Cute top but the twist looks a bit complicated.
ReplyDeleteIt really wasn't too hard, just go slowly and read through the instructions.
DeleteLori, your top looks great on you. Love that the neckline seems to fit perfectly - not too high, but also not drooping :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kris, you need to check out my binding tutorial under my tutorial link. That might help with how my necklines turnout. Thanks again.
DeleteThis is so great. Thanks for sharing. You and the clothes look amazing! Such an inspiration. Lots of Love from Fabrics World USA
ReplyDeleteCute, Twist top. I first saw your top on Instagram and liked it. Of course, I had to try it too, finishing my first top last night. And yes, it runs big. I used a medium with a few minor adjustments and it fits fine without my usual FBA. Love this one and will make it a few more times.
ReplyDeleteMy wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
