でも実は作ったのは去年で、出来上がったころには半袖の時期を通り過ぎていたので、全く着られることのないまま冬を越していたのでした。やっと着られるようになってよかった。
型紙はもう何回も使ってるSewaholicのRenfrewというカットソーの型紙です。
前回は紺地に白のストライプだったけど、今回は白地に紺のストライプにしてみました。
この型紙は、ストライプが似合うのよねぇ。
I made a very summery shirt. Well, I actually made it last summer. By the time I finished it (I don't even remember why it took 2 months to finish), the weather had turned too cool for a white short sleeve shirt, so it sat in my closet over the winter.
The pattern is my tried-and-true Sewaholic Renfrew. Last time, it was a white stripe on navy, but this time it is a navy stripe on white. I'm only showing the side that the stripes matched :P
The fabric was cotton french terry from Joann. I cut a size 6, shortened the bodice by 1", and straightened the hem so that stripes remain horizontal. (The pattern has a slight curve)
As my usual method of V-neck application, I overlapped the neckband ends at the "V."
I actually made three Renfrews in succession last year. Definitely a wardrobe staple.
Great top! Is your V-neck application different from the Renfrew directions? (If so, how did you get the directions for this application?) Your V-neck looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe Renfrew has a collar piece that is cut at an angle at the short ends. Then you sew the angled short ends together to make a circle first, fold it in half to make a band, then attach the folded circle to the neck opening. See Tasia's sewalong here: http://sewaholic.net/tutorial-sewing-the-renfrew-v-neck/. The end result would have a vertical seam at the "V" point. My application is borrowed from Jalie's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft9h49p-9TI&feature=emb_logo.
