I reviewed View B of this pattern last month. Today, I'm posting View A. This is the View that convinced me to purchase the pattern in the first place. I love the sleeves and the effect of the stripes. I thought it was pretty cool. Stripes going in many directions but somehow are very organized at the same time. The tie was cute too. It looks very chic.
My striped fabric has been in my collection for over five years. I purchased it at Mood Fabrics. It is soft and has about 40 percent stretch with great recovery.
The body of the top sewed together the same as View B., The sleeves has two pieces: an over and under sleeve. The over sleeve is gathered to create the balloon affect. The tie has two separate pieces as well. The pattern suggest a contrasting solid color fabric for the under tie. I just use the same fabric and turned the stripes in a different direction. It worked out fine.
In the above photos, I wearing View A with my TNT knit pants Vogue V8859. I've made these pants at least 15 times. An great basic pants.
Below, I'm wearing the first top, View B. It has already become a basic go to staple.
Happy Sewing!
