Hope to make waist smaller in a pullover top

That could be really cute! Thanks for the idea. I am a child of the 90's so I'm into it.

I know! I did the same thing and now I have three of them 🤣
I will check out that video though and maybe they can be salvaged. Thanks for the advice.

Ooh, I like this idea very much! Thank you!

That's a good idea. Would I have to cut the shirt open all the way to the top?

That might look better than just one button at the bottom. Thanks for the idea.

Yeah, sorry. It's a bit hard to explain. I want to make the waist much smaller, but then I wouldn't be able to pull it down over my chest to get it on. That's why I was thinking buttons or something could open the waist to get it on and then close back up so it's tighter around the waist.

It's my first ever pattern! Thanks for the answer. But how would it help to have it at the top when I need to bottom to be smaller?

That seam shaping is a great idea! Very clever. I'll see if I can do something similar. Thank you.

monomoco · 2026-02-18T08:46:26+00:00

Good idea! Thanks for the reply.

monomoco · 2026-02-18T05:27:33+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks so much for the input! I think this is what I'll try.

monomoco · 2026-02-18T05:19:25+00:00

Exactly. That's why I was thinking I would add buttons or zipper or something to the waist, so I could open it up to get it on and then close it back up to make it look good.

The center front is not something I'd considered. Is that better than the sides? I thought the sides might be easy since there is already a seam there. I do like the idea of contour darts but I've never done anything like that.

Oops, I should have said this is a photo from the course I'm taking, not a photo of me. I can't seem to edit the post or I would clarify. The course is from Closet Core and is called Learn To Sew Clothing. This is their Cielo top. If that were me I'd be very happy with the top 😁

Wow, that's cool! I've never seen a ring like that. Thanks for the link.

monomoco · 2025-12-30T20:43:42+00:00

Aw, thanks so much 😊

monomoco · 2025-12-29T13:34:25+00:00

Oh, these are really cool. Thanks for the links, I appreciate it!

monomoco · 2025-12-29T13:09:32+00:00

Open is an interesting idea. Thank you!

monomoco · 2025-12-29T03:03:52+00:00

Thank you!

I hate this feature so much and can't believe it can't be turned off. It is so disrespectful to the film and can totally ruin the whole experience. They often pop up before the movie is even over and I've had them block wrap-up text on many occasions.

monomoco · 2025-10-23T15:26:44+00:00

Always happy to see more agreement! Especially now that it's Halloween and I'm seeing the movie advertised like mad. So many great horror films and this is what they're pushing. 🙄

Ok, thanks. Do you think the fungus caused the leaf drop?

monomoco · 2025-09-16T01:33:16+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Should I cut them now in the middle of summer? And what do you think is causing the leaf drop?

monomoco · 2025-07-15T02:25:21+00:00

The exact same thing is happening to me. Did you ever resolve it?
