Simplicity 4146
I really enjoyed working on this pattern. I took a chance and sewed the top according to my bust measurement with 1″ seam allowances. I was afraid that the neck maybe to big, but the pattern was drafted with negative ease, so I thought it maybe a chance worth taking. In the end I did not need a high round or a broad back adjustment like I do when I work with a woven.
I used a Matte Jersey for the top from Joann’s I really like the colors in this fabric.
The wide legged pants was also easy to fit and sew – the waist is desighned to sit below the natural waist line without a waistband. I used a linen fabric, it is so comfortable but it wrinkle like nobodies bodies – I used a 5/8″ satin ribbon to sew at the waist, and it worked beautifully I will also use this mehtod on skirts in the future.

Comment made on May 8th, 2011 at 1:38 pmGreat fit on the pants, especially the back view. Lovely pattern for the top, bright spring/summer colors but not overpowering!

Beautiful fit + beautiful fabric = beautiful woman

Very nice job! The pants look like they fit perfectly. The top is very pretty too, and looks comfortable, a top feature in my book!
