Hey Peeps! I do really love how this top turned out but I think 7 1/2″ of ease is ridiculous and will not give you the top the model is wearing on the pattern envelope. Mimi G has said that the pattern envelopes will be getting better at Vogue, Butterick, McCalls and Simplicity which is wonderful. I really hope they do something about the silly amounts of ease they add to patterns too. I will be making more of this top with some of my expensive and precious fabrics as I’ve been wearing it non-stop since I made it (I took it to London with me and I’ve been wearing it whilst I help Wilson move house). I hope you enjoy the sew-along and review. If you have any questions let me know in the comments section and I will do my best to answer them. #beverleymccalls #kbsewalong
