FO: McCall's M7014 Jumper

面倒くさがるオットを説き伏せて（？！）やっとジャンパースカートの写真をとってもらった。犬の毛掃除してから写真撮ればよかったな。

Please ignore the dog hair all over the floor

布をくれたおばあちゃんに写真送らないとね。ちなみにこのおばあちゃんは、オットの実家の近所のおばあちゃんで（90歳ぐらい？）、11月に訪れた時、私が最近裁縫してると言ったら、これもってきなせぇ、ってこの布くれた。

仕事に着て行ったらとても着心地よくて、ルンルンです。ポケットが特に。

This is a summary of my jumper dress.

The pattern is McCall's M7014 and I made a view A, which is a sleeveless, princess seam dress with front patch pockets. I also added the flat piping on the princess seam line following the view D direction.

The fabric is a mystery knit that was given to me by a very nice lady who used to sew garments. It's mainly gray but has some orange texture in it as well. I also used some ivory color knit lining.

I cut a size 12 following my body measurement. Then I did the following alteration for the fit:

• Took in horizontally 1/2" at high bust, front and back.
• Narrowed the front bodice at shoulder by 5/8", front and back (narrow shoulder?)
• Took in front princess seam at under bust a tiny bit
• Took in back princess seam near the armhole a tiny bit
• Took in 1/2" at hip
• Shorten length 1/2"
• Then it got too tight so let out 1/4" at sides from the waist to hem
• Took in 3/8" at top of center back (gaping back neck)

I did not make a muslin so I altered as I sewed. After all these alterations were done, I did not have enough seam allowance for the armhole so I just bound the armholes with the same bias tape I used for accent after the lining was attached.

Since I used a knit fabric instead of woven, I omitted the zipper. I added interface, lined, and added a bias tape near the opening to the pockets.

I still have some swayback issues by looking at this photo.
Also, there is a vertical drag lines from the neck towards the bust. I don't know what's causing it. Part of front neck gaping?
In the future, I will have to move the shoulder a bit. Near the neck, it is pulled to the front by about 5/8".

The hem of the lining is just finished with rolled hem stitch of my serger. The shell fabric is serged, turned up then top stitched.

I wore it to work the other day and the dress was very comfortable. I sit on a balance ball at work and I had no problem with that.

I never knew I would like patch pockets on my dress so much. My very first patch pockets and I really like them.
