The sketch below is a trend research from 2009 for knitwear, Summer 2011. I'm usually not a fan of overtly asymmetric cutting and will always feel a little odd if one sleeve is so much shorter than the other. But with this design I am strangely compelled to give it a chance. I think it may look interesting using different knits for each of the panels.
You'll find all the pattern making detail on the website blog.
Dear Anita,
ReplyDeletemay I show the material given in this post in the Russian sewing community? They love these constructions and are very interested in your techniques.
Hi SG. Firstly I would like to thank you for asking honestly for permission. Much appreciated. I am always interested in sharing the excitement. If ok with you, I would like to email you directly to discuss the detail. Thx Anita
DeleteI have now experienced the Russia blogs enough to know that I would prefer you did not share. So much of my blog content has been taken by russian bloggers and claimed as their own! :/ So please do not encourage the sharing of my work in that community. Thx for asking. Anita
DeleteI struggled to understand how this pattern worked...then the light came on. Traced off the dress pattern last night.
ReplyDeleteHi Gail. I love it when that happens. :) Looking forward to fitting your dress block. Teresa and I have been making some trouser block fitting videos. Very exciting!
DeleteI finally had time to sit down with your blog tonight and wow! I'm loving all the patternmaking going on here. The way you go about creating a pattern for a sketch is so clever and again shows the importance of a good fitting block.
ReplyDeleteToo true Madalynne, everyone needs a good block. Thanks for dropping by to say Hi. I noticed you are in the industry too. :) We do one of these #PatternPuzzles each week on our facebook page. Drop by on Saturday morning (sydney time) and join us. :)
ReplyDeleteGracias, es un patron muy interesante, me gusta encontrar cosas en que pensar.
ReplyDeleteThx Maria para sus cumplidos abundantes. :)
DeleteHello, I just tried this idea last week and was excited to share the result. Some small things to correct next time but overall I am very satisfied (and Monsieur really loves it as well!!!)

Thanks for your work, I really look forward to the puzzles every week and would like to have the time to try most of them on fabric!
HI Julia, I just love your top. The fabrics are wonderful and you have done such a great job of cutting the pattern. Do you mind if I share on our Facebook page? Thanks so much for letting me know about your project. :)

ReplyDeleteShare away! Thanks for your words! For reference, my FB page is https://www.facebook.com/TitesMains?fref=ts
Hi Julia. Comment received. Thx :) I think the system resists comments with links or url's. Just to keep the spammers away I think.
