New Look 6735 - The Dedicated Post


I have decided to put up a dedicated post for New Look 6735.  Because I have made so many versions of it, it really doesn't require a new post every time I make one.  This will make it easy for me to track my projects with this pattern.  I have made this up now as the 3/4 sleeve tee, the cap sleeve tee, a sleeveless version and the cardigan (although heavily modified).  The fact that I have certainly got my money's worth out of this pattern makes the cheap bastard in me very happy!  So here we go (with newest versions on top):

I can't get over how different the looks are from this one pattern. You've done an amazing job with it. Did you have to alter the pattern to get it to fit? FBA for example? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your nice comments Mary!

I initially made this pattern as a 16 based on my measurements. After some adjustments I realized this pattern fits me well as a 14 as long as I make a 1" length adjustment (I am 5'7"). This pattern has ease built in at the front bustline which is what I think makes it a winner.

You have definitely gotten your money's worth from this pattern. Everything looks so beautiful, and your ideas are "outside the pattern envelope"!☺

I, too, have this pattern, and wondered if you'd made the pants. I'm thinking I want to shape the legs a bit, maybe go for a more bell-bottom look.

I haven't tried the pants yet. They are a bit wide-legged for my taste, although I imagine the pattern could probably be adjusted to a narrower version without too much trouble. I have thought about making the pants from NL6977 but I haven't seen them reviewed. The line drawing makes it look like a narrower pant. Maybe I need to be the one to bite the bullet and go for it!

No one would guess that all these wonderful tops are all made out of the same pattern.

Makes me question if I need to buy patterns at all. Lol.

I agree Kay. I am trying to do a pattern fast. I have recently been gifted a book on pattern drafting and I have gotten an idea about slashing and spreading to make a flowing tunic top from this pattern.

My Bionic Gear Bag - Pattern Review (long and pic heavy)

Image
The Completed Bionic Gear Bag EDIT: Link to the second bag I made almost seven years later   Well I finally finished my Bionic Gear Bag .  What can I say?  I laughed, I cried... This pattern makes a very cute bag and overall I am happy with it.  On the other hand I did run into some hiccups and perhaps my timing could have been better with purchasing this pattern.  The Bionic Gear Bag was designed by Sally AKA Ripstitcher .  She had purchased a similar pattern from Craftsy , made it, reviewed it on her blog, designed her own version that met her needs better, and put it up for sale on Craftsy.  The internets went crazy and  major drama ensued . Now I will be honest and say that the first pattern caught my eye in the first place because I saw Sally's review of it.  When I then saw the design Sally came up with I thought it would better suit my needs, so I bought it.  Unfortunately when I bought it the drama was at its height and e...

Holiday Knitting

Image
I never did post a pic of the finished Christmas knitting. Yes, this is what took ALL that time to knit up (I must be a really slow knitter!). I've got two pairs of socks from Briggs and Little wool, an angora scarf, and the pièce de résistance, the Wallace and Grommit hat! DH asked me to buy the pattern (a child's sweater pattern) when I saw it on Ebay, but he doesn't wear sweaters. Then a couple of weeks before Christmas I had an ahah moment and used the pattern to make a hat. He's very proud and doesn't take it off for anything! Well, maybe when he takes a shower, but that's about it. Then DD wanted a body hugging sweater out of the never-ending cone of eyelash wool I picked up at the Spinrite tent sale. So I've been busy the last week making this for her. I'd have her model it but she's been down for the count with a bad case of the flu and I don't want to make her move unnecessarily without my umbrella handy. This is the cone before ...
