Kwik Sew 2694
I whipped up this top yesterday using the aqua print I bought last week. I have made 2 previous versions of this pattern back in 2008 when I weighed considerably more. Back then, I used size XL with huge FBAs and extra added. This time, I decided to do view B with the short sleeves and used size medium. I did a 3cm FBA, rotated the dart to the under-bust seamline and added another 3cm to the front. Of course, I then had to add the 6cm to the bottom front piece too. The shoulders are a little big but that's about the only problem with it (although it could've used a neckline gaposis tuck). Oh & I also added 2.5cm or so to the back hip area after comparing it with another T shirt pattern that I've used.

Nice work. You've done a good job placing the print in the right places too.
Looks great on you and much better than RTW.
Agree about the pattern placement.
Nice work Alison. I really like that folding elastic you use for edging. I've found a source for when I get around to t-shirt making.
Question time? Where do you source your foe from?
Lovely top!
Great top. Thanks for the headsup (I think ;-))on the half price sale at Pitt Trading. Went there today and picked up a couple of nice knits, plus some FOE in some great colours.
