BWOF 115 from June 2009 Work in Progress











I just loved Lindsey T's version of BWOF 115 6-09 and showed it to my daughter and she loved it. So traced it and cut it out last night. Went so fast with just two pieces. Added 4 1/2" length since it was for a petite and Judy's 5' 10" it will still be pretty short on her. Took tissue and checked to make sure it would cover her bra. Adjusted the shoulders towards her neck to cover bra straps. As per Lindsey's warning had to make circle in back much smaller. Used grey poor boy rib knit from the $1.95 clearance at fabric.com. The green ribbing at the edges I've had in the stash for so many years I don't have a clue where it came from. I cut about 2" long strips of the green ribbing and I'm binding the edges instead or adding seam allowances and turning them under. I've just got it basted this morning before I went to work. I think it's going to be real cute. Hopefully will get it finished tonight and try to get Judy to try it on. The dressform I have doesn't go small enough in the waist, shoulders and under the bust for Judy plus it can't be adjusted for height so not much help for fitting. If anyone knows of a dressform that adjust for back/front waist height I'd love to have it. This is such an easy and quick pattern. Great for young teens and twenty somethings.
