I lied: Another Simplicity 1283

初雪降りました。雪国ではないので積もるほど降りません。

先日のお家ジャケットの残り布で、タートルネックのトップを作りました。
型紙は、やっぱり同じ型紙で、シンプリシティの1283番
なんか、袖が短すぎたわ。手首がちょっと寒い。そして袖ちょっと細めすぎた。下にババシャツ着てるとちょっとゴロゴロするのね。


I thought the last smoking jacket was the last of this pattern, but I lied. I used the left over fabric from the jacket and made a top. I was kind of going for a Toaster Sweater by Sew House Seven look.


So the pattern is the Mimi G design Simplicity 1283 that I've been using over and over for the past couple of months.


I used the view A, cropped top pattern, that I modified to make a regular T-shirt length shirt.
I pretty much used the same modification and changed bit to accommodate the thicker, less stretchy, quilted jersey. The modifications include:

(I cut size 12)
-Lengthened by 9 5/8"
-Narrowed shoulder by 3/8"
-Horizontally taken in above bust by 1" and match the sleeve cap
-Let out 1/2 to 1" at side seams
-Narrowed sleeve by 3/8" both seams
-Shortened sleeves by 2"


My modified pattern was for a fitted stretchy shirt, so even though I thought I put some ease back,  it was not enough for this type of sweater look. The armpit and the upper sleeves are a bit crowded with a long sleeve shirt underneath.

Note to myself for next time.
-Make the neck opening larger
-Double up collar height to roll it down
-Lower armhole or eliminate the 1" horizontal shortening
-Loosen sleeves
-Lengthen sleeves back to original pattern length.
-Let out at bust
-Add CB seam and contour?

One thing I noticed about this fabric, a poly quilted jersey, is that it is surprisingly NOT warm at all.
By the way, I'm wearing my Simplicity 1283 knit pants. I need to work on the under-butt wrinkles...
