Simplicity 8693: A Close Look at View A

HERE ARE THE DEETZ! 

Pattern Review: Simplicity 8693, View A 

Pattern: Simplicity 8693, View A  

 Description: Misses One Shoulder Top with Variations  

Supplies: My Trusty Ol’ Brother SQ9185 and Lightweight fusible interfacing (did not use for this make)  

Fabric: Joann.com -Item #15730658, Quilter's Showcase Cotton Fabric Black Swiss Dots on White, Item #7790504 Sew Essentials Bleached Muslin Fabric 36'', Generic Black buttons, and Thread, White 

Sewing Level: Beginner to Average 

Alterations

Large Bust Adjustment (LBA) required if you have a C-cup or higher. I made buttonholes on both sides of the cuff to make a cuff link style. I added an inch to the length because I plan to wear it with leggings so I adjusted the hip to the next size up. 

Pros

Easy sew and I love that there are so many variations. The possibilities are endless. I plan to make view D for a more summer look. 

Cons

Because you are adding the sleeves using the flat method, you have to pay attention to the cuff. I would add the cuff first and then sew the side seams using the set in sleeve. So I rated this between beginner and average. I wouldn’t make it again without interfacing. Because of the pandemic, I could not find any interfacing for the band, so it wasn’t as sturdy as I wanted.   

Video

No, but I did post some of the process in my social media stories. 

Additional Notes

Made notes on the instructions to keep track of where I was in the sewing process.
