(WIP = Work In Progress. Not to be confused with an Unfinished Object, or UFO)
I got some sewing in over the long weekend. This is more ponte de roma knit and I’m once again hacking a pattern for wovens and hoping it works in a knit. So far, so good.
(I really like how the zig zag stitching around the neck echoes the pointy parts in the print.)
PS — did you change the pattern at all for fit?
Pretty! So this is interesting — looks like you did a traditional facing and then topstitched with zig-zag? No binding, correct? I have a Burda knit – T pattern that goes together with a facing and I hate the way facings flop around. This looks like an elegant solution!
Yes, I kept the facing on the original woven pattern and just cut it down a little. Then it wanted to flip around so I topstitched it. Totally improvising here. 🙂
I cut both front and back on the fold since I took out the back zipper, so I was able to take out about 1/2″ from each piece. That’s all I did for fit though–kept the bust and back waist darts in there. We’ll see how it goes!
