The little elusive "T"

It's been almost a year since I posted anything on my blog.  Guess it's time to write something again. Yes, I have been sewing and spending money on sewing.  I almost think that's the best part.  I will write a later post about what all I've done this year; a few highlights at least.

My last few posts were about Lutterloh patterns, and this one is going to be also.  I find it reassuring that I still have interest in that direction.  My problem is having interests in all sorts of directions, and sometimes it's hard to focus.

I was starting to work on my first coat, but I'm still waiting on my interfacing to arrive, so that was put off to work on a little Lutterloh t-shirt challenge put on by COME SEW LUTTERLOH WITH ME.  This is seriously the best blog I've found so far about the patterns, learning to use them, and motivation (that and the Lutterloh thread on Pattern Review.)

I decided to take it as a challenge to find MY t-shirt pattern and picked out 4 patterns, all which look about the same in the drawings.  I drew out each of the patterns using the exact same body measurements, 100 cm bust, 110 cm hip.

Then the comparison began.

It wasn't until each pattern was drawn out that I could tell what all the difference were.  And the basis of my experiment is telling me that patterns are different, a pattern that fits one person well won't necessarily fit the next person properly, we are all shaped differently, it's not only about size.

Here are the 4 tops, all are from current supplements:

Top 1 - August 2015, Supplement 298, item 238 (note the slim figure)

 Top 2 - August 2015, Supplement 298, item 208

Top 3 - August 2014, Supplement 294, item 143

 

 Top 4 - February 2015, Supplement 296, item 181

The next post will start on my findings (lots of measurements).
