You've then made the neckline a bit wider so need to tweak the back and back facing pieces slightly to match at the shoulder seam.Fiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-61506472015727438602020-06-01T03:22:40.377+01:002020-06-01T03:22:40.377+01:00I've had my eye(s) on this top, and I love you...I've had my eye(s) on this top, and I love your modifications! I plan to print it at the library when it reopens soon - oh happy day! (And I'm hoping that the changes that you made to the front will make sense once I do print the directions out full size... so I can actually read them!)

I've fallen so in love with it all over again as I seem to every year :) There is a whole instruction video on youtube which directs the viewer through the whole construction process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpQq3NPKaCU&list=PLUemGvnDalLTO7QQs_yuUwmv5GDl0fYiN&index=98&t=0s and it's especially helpful re the changing seam allowances throughout. Thanks for another inspiring blog post :) and a reminder too re the Fabric Store and their linen selection and quality - out of this world!PsychicSewerKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911914507722968930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-91197234015706246882020-05-29T06:52:37.403+01:002020-05-29T06:52:37.403+01:00Your top is beautiful and looks really well made, ...Your top is beautiful and looks really well made, goes lovely with your shorts xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886067271514198244noreply@blogger.com
