Bodgeitandscarper's entry number 2
Another sleeveless cycling top.
Again, made from a self drafted pattern copying an existing top, this time I altered it to include the plain grey side panels, and used the grey for the neckbands and armhole bands.
One day, I'll work out how to do that overlapping v-neck properly, although it may not be possible using the overlocker like I've tried! I ended up doing lots of fiddling with edges, pinning, tacking, then coverstitching. I think it's turned out well, considering the complete lack of a plan for that bit.
Pattern placement was interesting, as I wanted the pattern centred on the front, but had to avoid having a big flower on each booby, or even a black spot. Pattern matching on the rear pockets was interesting too, especially with a fabric you can't press.
Just noticed, the fabric has a lovely pale pink in it that is really not showing up in the pics, it's not all grey!
