I'm throwing my hubby a big 40th birthday bash this Saturday. We love parties, but I find it exhausting. However, seeing that it's a special milestone.... well, I have to put in the extra work. It's going to be fun, fun, fun!
I'm also studying up for a big yoga teacher training exam. It's in a couple of weeks away, but I'm jazzed to hit the books! Why? Because after that exam, I will have my certificate. I cannot wait!!
Meanwhile, my daughters are going to be flower girls for a friend's wedding. It is a little bit of a short notice, but I'm going to have to make the flower girl dresses. I love a good challenge.
Anyway, back to the topic of sewing review.
I thought that I should have a review for the yoga top that comes with the Kwik Sew 3115 pattern. There are a lot of reviews for the pants, but not so many for the top.
Pattern Description:
Yoga Top
Pattern Sizing:
XS to L. I made an XS
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes! Don't you love it when that happens?
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love, love, love this pattern.
The neck line and armholes are finished with a regular sewing machine. I'm going to make another of these tops and I'm hoping to be able to make the entire top using just my serger. I think that would make the insides of the top look very professional. I wonder if that would work though? Has anyone tried this?
Fabric Used:
Black 2-way stretch knit.
Cotton-poly-lycra blend. It's an excellent quality knit.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
There is supposed to be a tuck where the neck band meets at the bottom of the v-neck. It is to make the band lie flat against the chest. However, my fabric was too thick to fold and sew. I left it untouched since it looked fine the way it was.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, and yes. Great pattern
Conclusion:
I think It is nice enough that I can make this top with a lovely patterned knit. It's not just a yoga top! It would make a wonderful casual top.
