This is the first Hawaii-inspired top. It is #125 from January 2009 BWOF. It's the sewing course so it's easy-peasy.
It's got cute gathered sleeves that aren't toooo poofy.
You can tell I need a swayback adjustment. I refuse to cut a center seam on most knit tops and I think that is really what I need.
Cute snaps? Like them? I put them in with my snap press. You guys need one.
Here's the question of the day. I did my shoulder to bust tuck like I normally do but I did the sleeve tuck differently. To reduce the sleeve, I matched it along the sleeve seams and drew a line that matched where I normally shortened the front and back. I continued that line (and tuck) on the sleeve. I did that on the front and the back. What do you guys think? The pink is where I put the tucks. (click on the photos to see both front and back)
This is what I normally do.
