I finished another garment during the contest time frame but didn't have chance to do photos/review etc for it, so it didn't form part of my entry.
This is the knit top from 6351. I raised the back neckline, took a thin wedge out of the upper back, down to nothing at the hip. On the front I graded from an 18 at the shoulders out to a 22 lower down to reflect my body shape. I added 5 inches to the sleeve to make it wrist length and also did a full bicep adjustment.
I shortened the neckband to match with the changes to the back neck.
After making this top I had an L shaped piece left over from my 2m cut of fabric. So I cut out and sewed up another Side Tie Top. Which was the Weekend Sewing Club pattern in August.
I drafted a simple knit neckband which I stitched a dart into at the V. The ties are the full width but slightly shorter due to the shape of the scrap. I slightly lengthened the body sections but did a 1" hem. As before I moved the ties up slightly so they tie just below the bust rather than at the waist.
