4076 Knot top

I've used the Simplicity 4076 knot front top before so it was easy enough to sew up.
This fabric remnant was absolutely the right weight for this and the knot works beautifully.

Alterations to the pattern:-
I have taken two tucks out of the front neckline of the pattern tissue, one just above the knot and another half way up the front neckline. I have also added a centre back seam, and taken the upper back neck in and the waist in. I swapped in classic tapered sleeves from a Butterick pattern.
To stop the neckline from stretching out I used 1/4" steam a seam lite (really a quilting product I think) which I ironed in place and then stitched.
It's still a low cut top but it makes it wearable.

Simplicity 4076 Knot front Top Finished

The Simplicity 4076 knot front top is now finished. I added a centre back seam and shaped it in at the back neck and back waist to fot my curved spine.
It now sits nicely.
Compared to the original pattern I have straight 3/4 length sleeves and the body is approx 2 inches longer.
I have also shortened the front neck edge slightly. The neckline is turned, stabilised with 1/4" steam a seam 2 and then stitched. The hems are turned and stitched.
