Kwik Sew 2694

6/6/09


This shirt was extremely easy to make. I had loaned my serger to a friend, so I used a straight stitch, then zig zagged, then trimmed the seam allowances. The neckline is wavy because I stretched the fabric while I was sewing it. The unintentional outcome is a wavy neckline that doesn’t lay flat. I have to pin it for modesty, but I like how it came out! I took the picture without the safety pin.

I wear an 8 petite in ready to wear, and I sewed a medium (View B). I used the long sleeves instead of the short sleeves shown on the pattern cover. ETA: I didn't realize until after I made this again, but in a large, that the reason that it's so tight is because I sewed it with 5/8" seams instead of 1/4". I will make this a third time in medium with 1/4" seams.
