New Look 6875 How To Rotate The Bust Adjustment To The Neckline
This a cute and easy top to sew. The reason I sewed this top is because one of our PFS Members wanted to know how to rotate a full bust adjustment to the neckline for this kind of pattern. I needed a new top, and she needed the information so we had a win-win situation. The video information could be found here for all PFS Elite Members.
Not a member but want to watch the video visit this link As a PFS Elite Member you will be able to follow along with some of our ladies who are also sewing this top. Here you can see what a perfect fit one of ladies achieved with the same top, using the information in the video. (This link is only visible to our Elite Club Members)
Before I say anything else – I want to warn you about your fabric choice. If you choose a knit that is not stable enough, you will have really bad droopy wrinkles between the bust area – How do I know? It happened to me – I used some knit fabric I had in my stash, and boy did this look bad? I will definitely stick to the pattern recommendations from now on. Because the fabric was so heavy and stretchy it really made the front look bad. (I think I’m the only teacher who actually share her disasters with the world – But hey, this is how we all learn from each others mistakes. Don’t worry I did sew another one that fits PERFECTLY)
When you look at the top on the right you will see A LOT of drooping going on, what I did in this top was I pushed the gathers really close to each other. But on the left side I spread the gathers a bit more evenly across the bust, which did not create as much of the droopiness.
I then decide to see what will happen if I sew the blouse up, only with my broad back and high round adjustments, eliminating the full bust adjustment. I really like how this worked out for me. I will sew one more top with the added fullness at the bust in the recommended knit fabric. – But I have wear this top to work, and received a lot of compliments. One lady even ask me to sew one for her.
Please excuse the tissue in my hand I forgot to put it down. I’m feeling a little under the weather struggling with some bug.
The one thing I did differently to this top that is not in the instruction sheet: I added a very soft interfacing to the neckline, Just cut a template form your neckline front and back and add your 5/8″ plus 3/8″ for the width. Fuse it to the neckline this will stabilize the neck and it make top-stitching so much easier. If you have any questions about this technique please visit the forum or post your question here.
