Big stripes Butterick 6492 - 3rd iteration

The Butterick 6492 seemed interesting enough to try but I didn't expected to love it so much:

 I think the front design lines are brilliant and love them and This time I tried to replicate them in the back as well. First I joined front and back pieces pieces and eliminated some seams:

Then I overlapped the front over the back and kept the upper part and used the front below the underarm line.

And then I designed some side panel from the remaining back part and made it symmetrical to the side line and constructed both front and back the same way.
    I really loved the stripes version and I wanted to play again with bigger stripes. To add a bit more interest I removed some fabric on the sides of both front and back and replaced it with a big stripe on a different direction.

I love the new top. It twirls nicely and is has a really cute flow but I think I used a bit to much fabric on the sides. I want to make this again and change the side panel.
Another problem with this top is that the fabric was less stable then the previous 2 so the top gained some extra with and length. That can be a real problem so I recomand stable fabrics for this top. To address the growing issue and more chances of wrong side showing I did larger hem but for under my pockets so I could not just simple covert stitch it around... I am considering doing facings on another version and maybe twitch the pocket construction a bit so I can secure that unde the pocket applique.

The cold weather seems to be good at keeping me to go on fabric shopping... So no new fabrics lately. Sewing 13 - Shopping 6.

Second version of Butterick 6492 - playful navy and white

I been wearing my 1st version of stripes Butterick 6492 a lot since I made it feels really good. I also got many complements on it! that feels good too! It's an interesting pattern:

The front inserts and pockets are the best features. So I decided to make a quick second version without many changes or thinking. I have this interesting poly blend jersey for a long time and I had trouble pairing it with any pattern.  I alternated the 2 designs in the panels and I did all the seams this time though I with I would have skipped the back seam. The front seam added interest in a nice way though.

I also finished 2 sets for the kids.
Some gray plaid for Eva. Unfortunately the color doesn't work for her that well:

And some PJs for Andrei a bit to large. I didn't started as PJs but they ended up looking that way ....

I also went shopping this weekend so sewing 12 - shopping 6.No matter how much I sew I can't keep up with my fabric shopping...
