More gray? – Easy Jersey Knit V-Neck Top

As I promised you, I finally made pictures of the other top I made with the remaining rib knit fabric. This time I made it a sleeveless, easy jersey knit v-neck top with flowers and leaves made from the same fabric and wooden beads.

If you own a serger, this is a great idea for some fresh, summer tops.

This one was very easy and quick to make, I think I will make another one with another piece of jersey knit I have. For the first time I used Bertha for fittings. I have to say it is a lot easier to do with with a dressform than without.

Here’s some details of the finish.

The edges were finished with a long strip of fabric, this one cut along the rib lines, to prevent stretching. The bottom edge was serged, then folded and stitched with parallel lines.

I have a similar top  that I had bought and that I don’t use outside home because it is so ill-fitting, this one  fits perfectly. I wish I had bought a dress form long ago.

Is anyone else using a dressform for sewing? Do you find them helpful?

And have a great weekend people, mine will be. I’ll share next week.
