I posted a few weeks ago that I had made a <\/span>pattern from a purchased top<\/a>\u00a0I loved.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"round-collar-knit-top-original\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the original. \u00a0I loved it and wanted it in different colors. \u00a0I followed the tips in these videos to make a pattern (without taking the garment apart, too!)<\/p>\n

If you can access old episodes of Sewing with Nancy, the series is called Copy Cat Patterns.<\/p>\n

\"round-collar-knit-top-raspberry-copy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First I made this one. \u00a0It’s a little on the short side, but looks good with jeans or crop pants.<\/p>\n

\"remade-t-brown\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I made this one in brown. \u00a0It’s the same length as the original and is just perfect, imo.<\/p>\n

\"remade-t-brown-close\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a close up the the embellishment. \u00a0It’s an iron-on patch from Joann’s. \u00a0You’d think they’d use glass seed beads on an iron-on patch, but no, theirs were plastic and melted, even while using a press cloth. Grrr. I had to sew on new beads to the flower centers. (And buy a new press cloth)<\/p>\n

So the moral of the story is to use a very thick<\/em> press cloth. \u00a0Also, be sure to iron from the back side to really secure your patch.<\/p>\n

\"remade-t-blue-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I made this one full of bling. \u00a0(Nearly 300 crystals, actually.) I wash it in a lingerie bag so I don’t lose any of my Swarovskis in the wash. \u00a0I thought I’d try a few inches shorter this time, but really prefer the original length.<\/p>\n

So there you have it, one pattern, four variations. \u00a0What favorite garment do you have that you can make copies of?<\/p>\n

Happy creating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
