I suspected something was off as I've made a gazillion knit tops from all different designers and can't recall this issue before. The feedback given in the Love Notions Facebook group was that the distance from shoulder to bust is too long, which seems to make sense but struck me as a weird issue to have. 110 Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740139592563988097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733005898566155607.post-2292981060778787182016-11-03T17:40:56.653-04:002016-11-03T17:40:56.653-04:00So cute, and nice job with piecing your fabric! Lo...So cute, and nice job with piecing your fabric! Looking at the overage you mention, upper bodice, front and back - well, it appears the top is drafted this way. I've looked at many many pics of this, including the examples on the Love Notions page, and all have the same effect (so does the line art of the pattern). Basically it's the drafting of the armscye - if you don't care for it, you can always redraft it. A suggestion, bring the armscye in towards the body more, curving it into a higher shoulder line. Also, be sure your sleeve cap is longer than the armscye, so that the sleeve eases into the armscye. Tami often drafts this the opposite way, so the bodice might have gathers and puckers where it's eased into the upper part of the sleeve, depending on the fabric used. You could try it with some inexpensive knit... BTW, you look fantastic for the mom of 3 kids! enjoy those jeans :-)Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784505178222083364noreply@blogger.com
