The facings did not match up at shoulder seams, the pattern piece was a bit off so I made a new one. Only fiddly part was the casing which also joined the top and bottom pieces making it a bit more bulky. Markings on pattern were a bit sparse....
On reflection I think a contrast cording would look better and perhaps a black button, but I didn't fancy the colour bleeding when it was washed! [ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I’ve just returned from holiday and the garment was well used. The button opening makes it easy to step into and pull up rather than have to pull over your head.
