Pieces #10, 11, 12, and 13 Finished!

I'm playing a bit of catch-up today, because I've been too lazy busy during the past few weeks to post my finished pieces. All four of these pieces are lumped together because they're pretty much the same...

First up, is the Silver Jersey Cap Sleeve V-neck Top. It's pretty much the same as the Red Jersey Cap Sleeve V-neck Top I made earlier, except that I left the V in the back and used raglan sleeves, just like in the Red Jersey A-line Dress.

Second is the Long Sleeve Gold Cotton V-neck Top. Basically, this is the same pattern as all of the other shirts I have made/will make. I drafted both set-in and raglan sleeve versions with varying lengths. This is the long sleeve length (which, sadly, is not quite long enough) in the set in sleeve version. Also, no V in the back.

Then the Silver Jersey Tank. This one is really comfortable. I can't exactly explain why, but I felt really accomplished when I finished up this tanktop. I always have trouble finding ready to wear tanktops that I like, so I'm happy that now I have a pattern I like to make my own.

And finally the Black Cap Sleeve Cotton V-neck Top. For some reason, this one gave me a lot of trouble. I took it home to finish the edges on Antoinette (because I prefer the results when I use her compared to Theta 1217 1/8), but every time I tried to stitch the hem, the thread broke. I tried multiple times with various kinds of thread (all black). For some reason nothing worked. I thought maybe I needed a little more power, so I brought it back to school to see if Theta could handle it. The same thing kept happening until I pulled out the heavy duty thread that I bought for my pants. Is that normal for the fabric, or was I just doing something terribly wrong? Ah well, I got it done. Raglan sleeves, V back.
