I’ve got a new top!
This fabric was purchased from Cabramatta in May last year and has been tempting me every since to make it up.
I have again made another version of KS 3740, and this time I have used the base I adjusted back here.
One thing I forget to check with was the amount of stretch this fabric had and it just felt a bit snug when I first made it a week ago.
So during the week, I unpicked the 4 thread overlock on the side seams and added a 4cm tapered gusset to the side seam.
Thankfully with the busy print it is hard to see.
I can see this top getting quite a bit of wear during winter!

I love the print, so fabulous on you. The fit of this is terrific. I admire your patience un-stitching and making it work.

I was looking at a fitted top pattern the other day, that had gussets at the bottom of all the vertical seams as part of the design. I thought it was really interesting. Great looking top in a fun print!. From some of the other comments, I am getting the idea you have tights in the same print. I would love to see them.

These colours are so you! Your trick for adding a bit of extra room worked brilliantly, no one would know it was there.

I do not envy your the job of unpicking the stitches – no fun. Still, worth it in the long run – a very pretty top. What we will do to save a nice fabric 🙂

Great save with the gusset. I really had to look hard to see it and if I didn't know it was there, I would never have noticed. This top looks like it will integrate beautifully with your wardrobe.

Great top. I'm with Bev though – isn't there something else you made with this fabric that we're all dying to see?

Another great Kwik Sew 3740. Such a useful pattern. As for the gusset – what gusset? 🙂

I had to look twice – and very closely – to see that gusset. Love the top and as you know I have serious fabric envy. So wish I had purchased some of this. It looks fabulous on you – but where are the tights?

Nice fix–you'd never see it in this print. I love the combination of the taupe and orange in the print. You have such a knack for finding beautiful colors for you.
