Godet:
A triangular piece of material inserted in a dress, shirt, or glove to make it flared or for ornamentation.
Not only did I enjoy making this top, but I really enjoyed wearing it! I wore this to a friend's
surprise graduation party last weekend.
I wish I could have worn higher heels, but age and aches prevents that more often than not! 😁
The pattern is Butterick 6248 and has a few variations to select from.
I've had this pattern for about a year or so. I initially bought it to make view B with a super lightweight sweater knit, but still haven't decided what to do with that fabric.
I ended up making view A because I've been stuck sewing in my dining room while roof repairs were being done. I needed instant gratification! And I got it!
Check out that godet!
It extends from the back/waist to the hemline. For some reason, I always worry that I won't get the godet right, but in most cases I do. Then I'm always surprised. I have no idea why I worry! They are so much fun once finished.😄
And of course, there was some print matching to do. Although I'm not 100% happy with it (thanks to distractions during the layout), I think it turned out well overall.
I will definitely be wearing this top a lot and am already planning to make another one...maybe stripes or a floral with some sort of hack.
What do you think?
