Pattern for dressy jersey top Can anyone suggest a good one?
julsmalham Intermediate UNITED KINGDOM Member since 4/22/12 Posts: 53	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/28/12 12:07 PM I am looking for a pattern for a jersey knit top. I have just made three Sewaholic "Renfrew" tops with a scoop neck and long sleeves. I really love them and their fit. I now want to make something similar but less casual and more dressy. I own RTW tops that are a wrap style that are gathered at one side. The gathers are more like pleats, not ruching. Would like something like this. Any recommendations anyone?

It has princess seams and is so easy to put together. It's my all time favorite. Very feminine. *you may want to raise the neck line...it's a bit revealing. But she will tell you how to do this on her website* -- Edited on 10/28/12 2:57 PM -- ------ Lorri Bernina Artista 730, Babylock Evolution, Sailrite LSZ-1, Singer 201-2,

I want to use stretch jersey fabric so I don't think this is the pattern for me. Thanks for the suggestion though.
julsmalham Intermediate UNITED KINGDOM Member since 4/22/12 Posts: 53	Login to reply to this post In reply to ScaryMerry << Like this post Date: 10/29/12 9:11 AM Nice tops but as I am pear shaped these would emphesize my hips. So although I like them they would not look good on me. Thanks for you suggestion.
julsmalham Intermediate UNITED KINGDOM Member since 4/22/12 Posts: 53	Login to reply to this post In reply to knitstitcher << Like this post Date: 10/29/12 9:26 AM This looks like a nice pattern. I have looked at the reviews on it and the neckline on the crossover version seems to differ quite a bit on the made up versions of the reviewers. A few people commented that the crossover part has the wrong placement over the bust. Don't know if that happens if the neck line is raised or whether it is just a body shape thing. I would make this on a regular sewing machine as I do not own a serger, so don't know if this would work well. What is your opinion. Knitstitcher ...... your name suggests you use knit fabrics. Have you any more jersey fabric pattern recommendations? What sewing machin/serger do you use?

I've made it 3 times and have worn the heck out of them. It's so easy too and very popular. Jalie Scarf Top ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/
