Burda Style For people who sew

Description

I have been desperate to make the leg-of-mutton top since I first saw it on here. Now that I have an overlocker I decided to give it a go. I started out with the lydia pattern and made it two sizes too small so that it was snug. The pattern drafting went quite well although I may have over done the sleeves a bit. I also failed to run a gather stitch on the area under the bust (too lazy to move my overlocker off the desk and put my sewing machine on). This is the first thing I have made on my new overlocker and I have already developed a love/hate realtionship with it, it’s so tricky getting the tension just right on all 4 threads and also balancing the stitch length and bite and differential feed. I am going to remake this and do the underbust bit correctly and also change the neck shape.

Material Notes

Yellow medium weight jersey.
