Good morning everyone,
Just for fun, I decided to do a little pattern hacking on Simplicity S8982. So for the next top, I decided to add a keyhole.
To make it, I simply traced my adjusted front pattern of view C. Then, I determined the size of my keyhole. Transferred that to my copied pattern and cut the shape away.
Next, I cut a facing to finish the area. The dimensions are: 1.5" by 12". My length is based on the size of the hole. Measure it and add a few inches for safety.
Next, fold the facing in half lengthwise and press. attach the folded facing to the right side of the front. Then, press and fold to the inside of the front. Stitch it in place. Now continue the construction as instructed by the guide sheet. That's it. Pretty easy.
BTW- I still plan to post pictures of me wearing the first outfit using this pattern. It's a Mood post. So I'm waiting for it to appear on their website first. Anyway, below is a picture of the third top that I made.
Happy Sewing!
