NL6856 Muslin...Not Too Crazy About It

It's been raining all morning and all day. Great opportunity to do some sewing. No running around or shopping today, just blissful peace in my sewing room and the hum of my SM. Oh, and of course Christmas tunes are playing in the background.




Here's my NL muslin knit top on SusieQ. This NL knit looks better on her than on me. I'm not too crazy about the neckline treatment as it appears to stand up along the edges and more noticeably around the shoulders and back areas. I still need to hem the sleeves and the bottom. Maybe it will look different once I finish the garment.



Maybe there's a reason why NL did not include a picture of a real live model wearing the clothes on the pattern envelope.


I'm off to finish two more t-shirts (morphing from Men's XL to KS size M).

I'll try to post more pictures later today.



** Update **



Here's a picture of the finished New Look knit top. What do you think?

OH! What a pretty knit! I think it looks really good on you. You can't tell that the collar isn't doing what you want it to.

I like the top, but the real question is do YOU like the top. I agree with Clio--can't see anything that's not working for you.

I love the top - and the neckline treatment is very flattering for you.
