may 5 #mmmay15 camber set tee and fay skirt
Finally got around to making another Camber Set Tee from Merchant and Mills. This time in a heathered red chambray-look stretch woven. I did a size 14 and ended up taking in a good inch or so in the waist to help with shaping.
This fabric has a good bit of body even though it's a stretch woven and stood away from my middle in an unflattering way. It's still loose, but in hopefully a more casual, comfy way. If you look closely, my neckline's not perfect. After doing the forward shoulder adjustment and applying the yokes- there was a slight problem with getting a smooth join. No idea how to fix it for next time- maybe it was the stretch woven?
Another repeat, Style Arc's Fay Skirt in a striped knit. This is such a fast, easy sew. Although, matching up the stripes was no fun. Compared to my first that was made in a very firm ponte, this is miles above more stretchy and feels like wearing secret pajamas. Somehow, there was a slight skewing when applying the elastic at the waistband and the top got a little twisted- I blame vertigo from looking at the stripes too long!
