Well the pattern hacker area has some new data to configure because Kitschy Coo has released a new pattern. A sweet raglan T - Shirt Called the Trifecta Top. I yonked this pic off of Amanda's blog so you could see all the neckline and sleeve combos.
Pretty nice huh? For my testing garment I made the lower scoop neckline with long sleeves and shoulder insets. The main knit is a cotton/spandex jersey originally from Marcy Tilton and the insets... Lillestoff baby. Oh yeah, check out my frogs.
The only fitting I did was to blend the size 4 and 5, which made an almost perfect T-shirt. The one other change I should have made was adding in a sway back adjustment. Bad Past Heather, no cookie....especially since this was your second test garment.
Yay frogs! Perfect use for the scraps of pretty hoarded fabric! Great top :)
ReplyDeletetee hee! Love those frogs! And now we have a use for all our precious Lillestoff scraps!
ReplyDeleteGawped at this pattern and downloaded it before I even had time to blink. Luscious. As the Lady Skater is my fav dress pattern of all time I am so excited to try this one … and love the frog print detail on your version.
ReplyDeleteOMG, been waiting so long for a raglan sleeve pattern! I was going to buy the one from hey jude but was dragging my feet because it would require some grading. So glad I waited! BUYING NOW!! Then immediately adding lady skater skirt for maximum raglan sleeve dress fun.
ReplyDeleteYou and Katie really know how to sell a pattern! I just bought this (and the Penny Pini and Mini Penny). The frogs are so cute! The fit on this looks really great, besides needing the swayback adjustment, obviously.
ReplyDeleteHooray for frogs! I was pretty happy there was a wide enough scrap to use. :)
ReplyDeleteHaa haa, time to grade down for froggie. Or maybe he just needs a cape.
ReplyDeleteSnicker. I think someone stabbed me in the back instead. Should have specified no backs.
ReplyDeleteYes!!! We can use up all our scraps and have millions of T-shirts. Muhaaaaa /\.
ReplyDeleteHooray! I think you'll love this pattern. Who doesn't need a few cute and comfy knit tops.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hooo! Not having to do any grade is the bomb. I have also been thinking about adding a skirt to it. Maybe the New look one with pockets.
ReplyDeleteKitschy Coo assembly party at your house! All those patterns are great and you won't have to mess around with too much fitting. Can't wait to see what you make.
ReplyDeleteHaa haa! I felt that way about Renfrew and then finally caved and bought it anyway. That's OK, I will support you in using the patterns you have. :)
ReplyDeleteI I love this - what a great pattern & that fabric is too cute! Do you think this pattern would work in sweatshirt knit?
ReplyDeleteYes I do think it would work with a sweatshirt knit. You might want to size up one to give yourself a roomier fit for the thicker fabric.
ReplyDeleteGo froggy.
ReplyDeleteRaglan tops are great for letting your creative self shine.
