How are you attaching the neckband @justsewit ?
Sewing machine or overlocker/coverstitch?
I am like some weird evangelist when it comes to knit fabric, I want the world to share the love! 🙂
Happy to help if there’s any way I can.

Yay😀 At least you finally are having some success! I discovered that doing a traditional fba doesn’t warrant for accommodating a larger than normal bicep so I need to redraft the front of the gallery tunic so the armscye can actually match the sleeve – i need two tops by tomorrow morning!

Finally got the bathers top fitted 🙂 It works very well. Worth it but tedious and frustrating!

@Ginger I think you’re exactly right to say “hold it up and see how it falls/drapes”. If it feels like it will be a nice warm layer and it drapes nicely then I think you’ve got your perfect fabric.
Here’s a picture of my mum and I both wearing the same cape pattern. I love the fabric I found for her one because of the gorgeous double face, but you…[Read more]

Susan replied to the topic Sketchbook shirt too short in the forum oliver + s: sketchbook 10 years ago

The chest fits fine, but the neck looks a little tight. He wouldn’t button it up all the way. It’s the length that is so far off. I think for the next one I’ll cut a size 12 and make it 3″ longer like Mama_Knowles suggested. I think if this pattern is ever edited and re-released they should seriously consider making it longer for the bigger sizes.…[Read more]

Hello Rebecca!
There’s a tutorial for such a thing at the Curvy Sewing

How to retrofit an FBA in a knit t-shirt

I personally haven’t tried it myself, I believe many ladies have and have been successful. I know I was going to try it out for myself when I get the chance. 😉 Good…[Read more]
rebecca started the topic FBA on metro t-shirt? in the forum liesl + co: metro t-shirt 10 years ago

Has anyone done an FBA on the metro t-shirt? Making for a friend who is small-boned, but has a very large bust (DDD), so I need to do an FBA. Not sure how it works differently on knits (does it?) and who has done it (successfully)?

Thanks!!
