Kwik Sew 3915


I'm starting to really like Kwik Sew patterns, especially since I got my new coverstitch machine. I picked up 3915 a couple of weeks ago when I had a coupon from the local fabric shop. Kwik Sew patterns are a little pricey and they hardly ever go on sale locally. This is a new pattern and I couldn't find any reviews on PatternReview.  I took a chance and it turned out pretty nice. I will definitely use this pattern again.

Since I wasn't sure if I would like it, I did a test sew with a piece of cranberry red polyester interlock knit that I purchased at JoAnn Fabrics on sale for almost nothing. Well, I didn't waste that piece of fabric because I love the pattern and plan to shop for more knits tomorrow.

This was an extremely quick top to make. I sewed everything on the serger and coverstitch machine except for the little loops for the buttons and the row of gathering for the front collar.

What did you make today?

  8. ButtonMad, I made lots of knit garments with a basic machine before I bought a serger and a coverstitch machine. I used a very narrow zig-zag to maintain stretch. By the way, your buttons are great!

  10. I love the pattern. I bought it, but I must have made it with a fabric that was too thick. I couldn't get the front to lay flat without a pucker. The pattern - at first - was confusing about where to cut on the neckline. I contacted Kwik Sew and they said (after I showed them photos) that the pattern had been printed with the markings at the wrong place. I'm wondering if the front V was marked wrong also. I need to try this with another fabric. I ultimately didn't do the gathers or the buttons.............
