But that has more to do with my love of the fabric than the pattern itself!110 Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740139592563988097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733005898566155607.post-77188914184298325312016-04-04T17:08:20.997-04:002016-04-04T17:08:20.997-04:00I just attempted this shirt over the weekend.

I did add the cuffs and hate them -- too much bulk even with the waffe thin jersey I used. I also ended up cutting out the neckline completely after fighting with those damned Vs. Now with neckline removed and sleeves chopped off, it's actually kind of comfortable. :P I'm working on several other Seamwork patterns at the moment and am hoping they turn out better...Candacehttp://stitchesandscrewdrivers.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733005898566155607.post-75549335198788729192015-09-05T09:15:00.852-04:002015-09-05T09:15:00.852-04:00You're definitely not alone in your struggles!...You're definitely not alone in your struggles!

The inside of mine is also a hot mess. I sew a lot if knits and I've never struggled like this before. I do love a v-neck so have persevered. Wish I'd googled reviews of this before I started sewing! Will carry one as it is still wearable but will be finding a different way if attaching binding in future.

Any extra got cut off in the CB seam. At least there aren't a lot of seams, you should be able to use it for something else, like a tank top!110 Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740139592563988097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733005898566155607.post-42494474730696007952015-03-27T11:59:16.884-04:002015-03-27T11:59:16.884-04:00I'm so glad to hear I wasn't the only one ...I'm so glad to hear I wasn't the only one who struggled with this pattern. I had the exact same problem. My neckband also ended up looking very loose so I sewed the back v tighter to bring in some of the slack. It really was disappointing. I used very nice fabric and now I'm trying to see if I can recycle it into something else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733005898566155607.post-49369841438378297982015-03-17T09:01:54.683-04:002015-03-17T09:01:54.683-04:00I also see a lot of potential in the design, which...I also see a lot of potential in the design, which is why I'm keeping at it.

But the neckband nearly drove me insane. I ended up stitching it down to about 2 cm from the point of the V, and then hand stiched the point into place. I'll have another stab at it now that the amended instructions have come out. I need to re-tweak the fit of the pattern a bit more as well - I am literally a pear in 3D - sides, front and back - so adding to the sides alone does not work properly. But I see enough potential in the design to persevere.fyreflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196205558561054683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733005898566155607.post-36625680707027474612015-03-13T16:44:06.585-04:002015-03-13T16:44:06.585-04:00I had the same problem with the pattern.

And possibly drop the back seam and do the neck in one piece. I'm also an xs, wish I'd seen your page list before I printed mine!
