Just Sew It

I have a neighbour that came to me a week ago and asked if I could sew her some tops for her trip to England. She said she was having trouble finding a top that fit. Her arms are too large for rtw. So I went with her to the fabric store to help her pick out her pattern and fabric. I asked her to bring along her two skirts for matching style and fabric. She was concerned about her tummy too. She found a pattern she liked. The pattern is Butterick 3968

For fabric she picked out a satin twill and satin velvet. Both are very drapey which is perfect for this top.

Tonight, I will confirm the fit on her by bringing along the pattern pieces to fit her. Once confirmed I will cut. I have to alter the sleeve width at the top. I may have to lengthen the top too. I will see.
