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 even though there was email communication from

Onward and upward...

I was complaining whining speculating about the changes in my life in a recent post , and I've decided to take some action on it. I might be right out of my mind but I have an appt Monday with a dept head at our local university. Now you have to realize that I graduated from high school in (gulp) 1979. In my early 20's I did a 4 year apprenticeship as a Tool & Die Maker and haven't been to school since other than the occasional night school class. But the kids are pretty much grown, DD is 18 and just bought her first car and is working part time while going to school full time and really doesn't need me much anymore. (I guess I'd better learn not to make run-on sentences if I want to go to uni!) DS is living with Dad at the moment. So there's really no reason for me not to. I work full time so I'm going to apply as a part time undergrad, and I'm thinking of just taking one course per semester to begin until I see how it goes. I want it to enhance
