Stitch Upon a Time's Merryweather Top Sewing Project - Purple Stripe


I've been looking for a simple T Shirt pattern with different sleeve lengths and a v-neck option.  Most importantly I've been after a pattern that has a bit of flair about the hips to cover my post baby belly.  

The Merryweather Top & Dress pattern from Stitch Upon a Time fits the bill perfectly.  It was also super easy to sew up.  

I was particularly impressed with the instructions for the VNeck.  I've tried this type of pattern before and made a complete mess of it.  The instructions from Stitch Upon a Time were extremely detailed and very clear.  I followed them closely and got a result I'm delighted with.

It starts with the shoulder seams.


Then the sleeves are set in.


Then the side seams.


Now for the neck band, it gets folded in half and pressed.


The ends are sewn together with a carefully placed V.


This V shape is mirrored on the shirt front.


Then very carefully snipped.


I really took my time applying the neckband to get it positioned perfectly.


Sewing the rest of the neckband in place is pretty straight forward.
