T...Hello Pat, Thanks for the compliment....but YES! This armhole was ridiculously long. Huge. I'm wondering why. There are those half inch or inch "petiting" lines but they barely touched what was needed. I didn't realize until after I meticulously folded (not cut) those lines together and taped them that I needed so much more! I think I took out an additional 3 inches or so. I find that extreme. I did this with both the shell and the cardigan. For the sleeve cap, I pinned the edges of the sleeve to the garment (before sewing the side seams) and let the sleeve cap fall where it wanted to near the shoulder. I pinned in place and basted. Once I was satisfied with the shortened sleeve cap, I cut the excess away. It worked out well as you can see in the photos. I'm not an experienced sewer, but I've never had to alter a pattern this drastically. Lesson learned: follow your body, not the pattern! If you make this, I'd love to see a photo. Thanks so much for leaving a comment!Remnanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200800968597517755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488689915260820635.post-55616549149001183492010-11-06T14:07:12.705-04:002010-11-06T14:07:12.705-04:00Could you tell me if the armhole is very low in th...Could you tell me if the armhole is very low in this pattern? I compared it to a Christine Jonson <br />top that I love and the armhole seem very low. Thanks for any info. Your twin set looks great!!!

It took some doing and my work paid off (isn't that a good feeling?) <br /><br />My top stitching is not nearly so wonky as the photos. I don't know why...probably because the tweed is not pressed - it feels like a linen but is thicker.Remnanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200800968597517755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488689915260820635.post-2207688151364357362010-11-05T04:46:28.747-04:002010-11-05T04:46:28.747-04:00Looks good - I really like the fit of the shell.Looks good - I really like the fit of the shell.K-Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11117653505364031423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488689915260820635.post-73100675213144837262010-11-05T02:00:30.700-04:002010-11-05T02:00:30.700-04:00You've put together a fabulous ensemble.
