It's not unusual to get comments about the Jersey Twist Top that some think that the neckline is a little low for their personal modesty.  And I totally get that.  I'm not one to show too much decolletage and often lift the neckline of many of my patterns.  So if you've purchased my sewing pattern for the Jersey Twist you might be interested in the following post and the pattern making instructions to change your own sewing pattern.

It's taken me far more time than is reasonable to get my act together and make some pattern making videos.  Over the coming weeks I'll be releasing one video each week on my Youtube channel that shows the development of a few of my pattern puzzle designs into final patterns.  Be warned they're not the greatest quality videos but I'm hoping they're good enough to show the process for all you budding pattern makers out there.

It all started with this image I found on the interweb many years ago and resulted in a #PatternPuzzle post to unpack this fascinating idea.  And finally it's a digital sewing pattern for everyone to download.  Like many vintage sewing patterns they use fashion illustrations rather than photographs to promote the pattern.
And the cover suggests you can wear this wrap top wrapped to the front and to the back.  In my experience it didn't work out that way and worn with the wrap at the back it was far too tight across the throat to be comfortable.

It's been happening for the past three months and will continue until I run out of sewing patterns (duh never!).  Every time I release a brand new pattern a few days later I send my newsletter subscribers a huge (50%) discount code for that new pattern and a special category of my PDF sewing patterns.  So if you're not subscribed you've got about two days to sign-up to get that wonderful special.
My latest sewing pattern, the Tab Polo Tee is a colourful take on the classic Fred Perry Tennis Polo.  The body of the garment is made from two-way (four-way US) stretch knit fabric with a reasonable (4-8%) elastane content and the tab and collar are made from a mix of eclectic printed woven cotton fabric.
