| Pattern Description: Stylish V-neck top, raised neckline at back, with or without sleeves
View A has a zipper at front neckline for more coverage.
I am going to use this pattern for the contest of one pattern,many styles I plan to use view B with long sleeves
I used view B , in the spirit of the contest with long sleeves only
Pattern Sizing: from child to plus sized adult
I am plussized, very irregular
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Were the instructions easy to follow?Yes, although I ended up not looking anymore
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like having more seams in a sweater pattern so that I can better adapt it to my shape
Fabric Used: Many looks gives many materials
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I had a muslin made that I have reviewed and after that I adapted the bustline and the armscye
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I did now six of them, so I'll wait making it again, but I can fully recommend it
Conclusion: Nice to do an OPML contest, but one issue left: Now to find and sew fitting skirts.....
There were many constraining rules in this contest, but I learned not to be let down by that and adding extra materials when I din't have enough amount of remnant pieces.
1 Morpho
Synthetic,very soft bold knit,printed, not much recovery.
I was afraid that the neckline could loose it's shape, so I added an elastic in the inside of the neckline. I sewed the upper frontpart by hand to be sure og a smooth result
2 Ice
Again a bold knit., better recovery. Now a solid colour.
Ornamented with beads.
3 Ruffles
This is made of a double layer of mesh. I added ruffles (made myself, augmented with elastic ruffletrim) on sleeves and neckline.
Now it looks more like a blouse
4 Lacewaves
Coton jersey , ornamented on sleeves shoulders and back with a wide non-stretchy lacetrim
5 Sheerwaves
A soft lycra body and sheer soft mesh sleeves
6 Chevrons
Here the laying on the fabric is clearly the difference.
This top has edgings of lace elastic, in the centrefront with a bow. The edging was fixed with a decorative stitch of the sewingmachine

Love your version of Jalie 2682 with the stripes on the top. It's very flattering on you. You have been having fun with this pattern.

I like all of your tops! I'm especially amazed at how well you managed to chevron the stripes together on the last top. I have this pattern and I think I need to use it. Great ideas!

Thank you very much, you both. I had in fact great fun. Yes it was nice to play with the Chevrond. It matches on the shoulders, the front and the back, but I could not do it in the sleeve seam. One seamline is more tilted than the other...

All of your versions look super and the variety of knits you used is very cool.

Really gorgeous. I think the one with lace is my favorite... no, the one with the dangling beads...no, the one with the sheer sleeves... no .....

Like JEF, I'm trying to figure one which one I like best - they're all fab!

These are fantastic! I love the idea of using the lace trim along the sleeves and shoulders. Very creative!

Thank you all. Good for me that I need not choose, I have them all Yes treefrog, Lace for lingerie is often so beautiful, that I look for possibilities to use it visible
