I don’t think I see anything wrong, either. Could you rephrase “the top inner corners right sides and mine are sewed” — I’m afraid I don’t understand that part.

I am so sorry, I can’t see the problem.
Does the underarm side seam match up? -

I think your fabric choice is the key to that decision.
Both sew up beautifully in a draping fabric (wool, silk) but I think the Late Lunch is a bee’s whisker more flattering in a firmer woven (linen, chambray)I wonder if the collar doesn’t look a bit snappier in a woven too.
Just my opinion, of course.

Thanks so much for your help, Nicole! I am still floundering between the Late Lunch Tunic and the Cappuccino Tunic (ugh, decisions, decisions). . .THANK YOU!

Sew Alongs 10 years agoThat’s a great idea, Brittney! That way you get the reminder that it’s been updated but it all stays in one place. Thanks for the suggestion. And I hope the flatlock works out! I think it’s nice to have that seam stitched down somehow, and the straight stitch works but the flatlock is fancier!

Sew Alongs 10 years agoYes, I was wondering about that myself. Rachel (@nestfullofeggs), maybe it’s better to add a new post for each day of the sew-along? I think the updates get lost otherwise. In other words, maybe each day of the sew-along should be a reply to the post instead of modifying the original post? Do you think that would be better, @georgeandizzy?

I have been trying to answer but had locked myself out!
I would try laying one sleeve over the other.

I love making mens shirts Ellen.
Nearly finished Beatrix’s sewing turn and then on to Matilda.
Time to glue the Carnival PDF together.

It is a good question. The sleeve is kimono style and on a bias of sorts.
I think I would shorten by measuring from the sleeve cuff back, taking equal amounts from the sleeve front and the sleeve back. I would suggest leaving then sleeve a little longer then you anticipate too. You can always cut more off.
The hem on this sleeve behaves a little…[Read more]

Reading between the lines… the bodice buttons at the back so the front and the back will not be the same….
Is this the problem? -

Could you either upload a smaller photo or link to a photo hosted elsewhere (flickr allows for pretty big files) — I’m afraid I’m having a bit of trouble picturing the problem you’re describing.

So, we have had this pattern in our ‘stash’ for quite awhile, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to delve into sewing for ourselves {gulp}. Well, the perfect opportunity has arisen. . .capris with no matching blouse. However, we are about to be in the midst of a HOT summer in the South. I adore the styling of the 3/4 length sleeves, but am…[Read more]
