This is my second Sobetto (by Colette patterns) make but my first time blogging it. The previous make was so "not me" that I could not honestly happily post about it.
This time turned out much better:
The first Sorbetto top I made was done by selecting the size that corresponded to my measurements. First make was a little "blousey".
Next time I decided to go next size down. Much better fit, maybe could do with a little more room as the side seam does curve quite a bit instead of being straight:
Oh well just more tweaking for future versions!
A few individual things I did on this top...
Added my own "handmade" clothing label:
Embellished the neckline using the "feather stitch" option on my machine:
Finished the hem by using a zigzag scallop stitch and then trimming near the stitching:
Persisted with sewing up this top after realising my tension was totally wrong and being reassured by a fellow sewer that the stitching would not come apart (good thread!):
For such a simple top this has been quite a learning curve! Am looking forward to the day that I can make one of these up with minimal thought!
You can find the [FREE] pattern here.
Happy Sewing!
