it has been some time since i pored over the excellent pattern magic design magazines. i drafted this pattern from volume 1 exactly and, using some black wool jersey, i had a new top in 2 hours. truly.
the pattern uses a single piece of fabric and 3 seams in total: 1 seam behind the right shoulder; 2 seams from wrist to waist.
the sleeves are cut on the bias so some extra length here adds to the loooong slimming effect.
and fitting the garment to the waist and wearing a singlet top underneath has all but eliminated the natural un-twist response of the fabric.
so far it is working well with most things in my wardrobe. one of my regular customers suggested teaming it with this. definitely.
