You know, my favorite twist top (a Kwik Sew one) has that opening too, but you don't even notice it when it's on. It disappears under the twist when worn. Maybe this one does too? Or maybe you can stitch it up a little further & leave less of a n opening?angie.ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575366388194033626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-2508059580875492992008-12-30T16:41:00.000-06:002008-12-30T16:41:00.000-06:00That's a lovely top and you look awesome in it!

Just lay the B pattern pieces over D matching center fronts and trace the slope of the shoulder and armhole unto the pattern piece of D (don't forget to fold the tucks where they are supposed to be). You will want to make a muslin first to fine tune the process. I like the sleeveless version--View C--but agree with you about View D.patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-69636998369460227042008-12-29T22:38:00.000-06:002008-12-29T22:38:00.000-06:00Great top!

I am not always very happy with the quality of their garment fabric, so I just may have to start straying into their decorator section just to see what they have. I can't wait to see what you do with it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
