The pattern is pretty loose fitted so I cut size 36 without seam allowance. I didn't change anything in pattern, only way of sewing darts, I made them as pleats. Probably next time I will try to do them by instructions. Oh, I made the top longer, just trying to use the whole length of my piece of fabric, decreasing the waste.
I used the rayon fabric which I bought 4 years ago in Toronto, during my first and only visit to Canada (second one was actually moving to Vancouver, BC). I supposed to use this fabric as lining for a skirt but I didn't. So the cut came back to Canada%)
This is easy and nice project and the result is pretty good and nice, the top is very comfortable and I can wear it in different outfits. I will make couple more in future ( I should cut neckline 1cm wide, so it would be easier to put it on wearing glasses)
Facts:
- Fabric: red rayon from Toronto (first visit to Canada), 0.65m
- Pattern: Burda 04/2016 118
- Fabric was bought first but as a lining for a skirt
- Notions: thread
- Time to complete: 5.2 hours
- First worn: just after finishing
- Wear again: sure!
- Make again: yes, with changes - little bit wider neckline.
- Total cost: $4 for fabric, $0.5 for thread, 0 - for pattern (I borrowed the magazine in library) = C$4.5
