Pattern Repeat with Left-Over Fabric

先日作ったニットトップのあまり布でもう一つゆるめのカットソー作りました。
あまり布をきれいに使い切れていい気分。
型紙は、この前作った夏用セーターと同じ型紙、シンプリシティというブランドの1805番なんだけど、ちょっと違うバージョン。ラグランスリーブではなくて、キモノスリーブ(身頃と袖がつながってて、身頃の型紙がハンガーにかかってる着物みたいな形)バージョンです。袖と身頃が同じ型紙なので、縫うところものすごく少ない超簡単トップ。


After I made my Simplicity 1916, wrap shirt, I had a nice size left-over fabric and I was able to squeeze in a kimono sleeve shirt. Thanks to the non-directional, all-over floral print, I didn't have to worry about the print being upside down.


The pattern is Simplicity 1805. I just made a raglan sleeve version the other day, but this time, as I said, it is the kimono sleeve version (view A). It is very very easy to make.


I cut a size XS. Because of the fabric shortage, I did have to add a center back seam. Since I was adding a center back seam, I added a back contouring a bit.
The bodice is shortened 1" above bust and 1.5" at the waist. Shortening above bust consequently narrowed the sleeves (just made a horizontal fold through the sleeves) but sleeves are pretty loose to begin with so it worked.


Now I just have to make sure I don't wear the same fabric twice in a row.
