I have some great embroidered seersucker with lobster that deserve a summer shirt, but I want it to fit and look good.

Althou...I totally agree about the larger necklines!<br />Although the knit edges will not ravel, I used a serger or overlock machine (Baby Lock-BL3 418) to clean finish to the edges. The machine trims the seam and adds a 3 thread finishing seam all at once.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165119758309263620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271136766216942012.post-10753130730393654982017-06-01T01:25:34.969-04:002017-06-01T01:25:34.969-04:00Beautifully done and looks great on you Paige !

Quilts are far easier in that nothing needs to fit! I'm a big fan of lime green although unfortunately it doesn't really suit me so I stick to accessories around the house.

You ...Love seeing what you sewed this month, Paige! You know I sewed garments for many years before I started quilting, so making clothes will always have a fond spot in my heart. What I love about sewing now is that I can find nice knits in bright colors that I can wear here in Florida. So I adore your bright chartreuse! Now you make me want to sew something for myself... but I dare not. It's FMQ for this quilter, until four quilt tops are done this summer. A worthy goal, huh? Wish I could have spent time with you at QuiltCon. We were so close... yet so far. Nashville, perhaps?

I have narrow shoulders and those over-large necklines tend to slip off my shoulder, you know, constantly pulling it upon my shoulder. I mainly just like comfort. That top looks comfortable to wear. You did a great job on that. Great color, too.Dotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555081712708645426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271136766216942012.post-6475369461705989502017-05-31T12:13:07.602-04:002017-05-31T12:13:07.602-04:00What a beautiful top - looks great on you! I'm...What a beautiful top - looks great on you! I'm with you! I hate those wide necklines that every knit garment seems to have these days (whatever happened to crew neck?) <br />I have a question, being kind of a novice garment maker: For finishing knit edges, do you need a serger or serging attachment? i have two old (vintage) singer sewing machines - there may be some kind of serge attachment and i will buy it, if so. I really want to make some knit tops to my own design. Thank you for showing the wonderful details in your top; it's a lovely design and solution to a too-wide neckline!<br />bumblebee53https://www.blogger.com/profile/14449132328154137614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271136766216942012.post-54924726922177202822017-05-31T11:36:40.564-04:002017-05-31T11:36:40.564-04:00Your shirt looks great--very professional!
