I re-did my toile for the top, this time adding 1.5cm around the pattern. I
sewed the tucks from behind just on the sewing machine, although I think I
still need to do a few stitches by hand to keep them in place. They will be
where I've placed the two pins on either side.
I've also decided that I won't be having sleeves on this top
as I don't want it to become too busy. This means that I need to take away the
seam allowance around the armhole as I will be finishing the edge with bias
binding
The top was also too large for the mannequin. I am going to go back to my
pattern and check that the back matches the front and then I will be taking the
sides in by 2cm.
Overall I am really pleased with the outcome and I think I will be looking
into making it out of plain cotton. There will be an invisible zip inserted in the back seam.
