MOT #2

Yesterday I finished and wore this finally. I like it and it's very comfy. I'm not sure mandarin collars are well suited for bamboo knits. It could just be me, who knows. Long story short and 2 collars later, I tweaked the shoulders by taking them in a little more. I was then able to fit the collar on with no problems but as you can see from the picture, it's still sagging a little. I think it's the fabric and not the collar at this point. Bamboo has a lot of drape and stretch to it. Anyway, here the review I did on this top over at Pattern Review.


I started working on my second top for MOT. It's Simplicity 4112. A Built by Wendy pattern.

I'm making View B. This one has gone together very easy. I'm glad I picked this pattern to be my first button down. It's another mandarin collar, and I had no problems with the collar on this one. I think I've got it down now. If I have some time today, I want to work on the button holes today and finish hemming it up.
