| New Look 6870 in black textured lawn and shirred neckline |
Pattern:
New Look 6870, View B
Fabric:
black textured lawn
Construction Details:
I followed the pattern exactly until I came to the neckline. Since I was to teach a shirring class for my local SAGA group, I used that technique on this top. The neckline fabric edge was serged with a rolled hem and then I added 3 rows of elastic shirring. There are many great tutorials on shirring on the internet, so just Google search "elastic shirring." I prefer to use my coverstitch machine to do elastic shirring. A serger with coverstitch options will work also. This eliminates winding bobbins and goes very quickly.
I love this top in the Houston heat!
I want one -- we can be twins.... too stinking cute on you!!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with this pattern! Could you elaborate on the elastic shirring with your coverstitch machine?
