Lately I've been taking more time for selfish sewing.. This
cropped sweater is currently one of my favorite new makes which I want to wear all the time.. I bought this
textured knit fabric on sale, only 85cm was left.. There was also more in navy
color, but I liked more this light version.. Not so much can one do with short
piece like that.. At that moment Burda issue 08/2016 was on my table because I
used it to make a shirt.. I took one more look at the patterns and saw this
cute cropped sweater #105.. One of the rare Burda moments where styling was
great and even my fabric matched the one model is wearing.. Only the color is
different.. Also, I loved the pleated detail on the sleeves..
I wasn't sure if I
would have enough fabric, so I quickly traced the pattern and lucky me!! I had
just the right amount of fabric.. Sewing all parts went very fast.. I decided
to finish all the hems with bias binding and handstitching.. After finishing
everything and trying it on, I made a decision to make the same detail with
pleats at the sides of the bodice because the sweater was too wide at the
waist.. With that fix I got a perfect
cropped sweater..
I'm very pleased with the end result.. Making these details
on a simple top as this one was a success.. This sweater looks great with all
my girly skirts and dresses.. It adds kind of a modern touch to my
wardrobe.. And what's most important, it keeps me warm..

So cute. And repeating the pleats at the waist was such a great idea, as well as improving fit it adds so much more intention to the design.
ReplyDeleteJako lijepo radiš.Može mali savjet za početnicu u šivanju-gdje kupuješ platno za šivanje?
ReplyDeleteHvala :-) Materijale nabavljam bukvalno gde stignem :-) Najčešće u Italtes radnjama u Beogradu, kao i ostalim radnjama po centru, buvljacima, itd. Bitno je prepoznati kvalitet ;)
