nak here...
i made this today
http://www.amitymama.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=712344
so took a few pics as i went.

cut and paste my "how to" from the other post
took t-shirt pattern I liked and redrew the front- chopping off one shoulder section with a diagonal line that would follow approximately a v-neck angle but go all the way across to a few inches below the opposite armpit
http://www.amitymama.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=712333

then drew out the piece for the missing shoulder- the bottom part followed the angled line of the "wrap" but was about 3/8" longer

serged the shoulder seams
foe-d the neck line
serged to finish the bottom edge of the little front shoulder piece then :gasp: pinned it just under the foe wrap part
http://www.amitymama.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=712339

stitched right on top of the foe stitching line

serged sleeves in
serged side seams
hem

hth
lmk if anything is unclear

ps: what is "FTR" i saw in another post?

Thanks for the tips and pictures, I've had a mock-wrap top on my to-sew list for a while and this will definitely help. I'm rather fond of that fabric, Lauren wore her yellow mag dress yesterday.

FTR = for the record

Awesome!

Thanks so much for posting, it looks easier than I thought! Yippee!

I really like that. THe mock wrap tops are eerywhere this season. I just don't know how good it would look on my DD naynays that I *don't* want to draw attention too. LOL

I may have to try it out anyway. Thanks for how-to!

then drew out the piece for the missing shoulder-

feel like a dork but don't quite get this part.

sorry lisa,
i just drafted the piece for the front shoulder:
i traced the shoulder, armcycle, v-neckline for the missing shoulder and then the bottom line of that piece follows the angle of the "wrap" but just a bit longer- 3/8" or so.

I *love* that!

Very nice! I've been meaning to make a few of these for dd.

Thanks so much Shannon..your post is now on it's way to my printer.
thanks thanks thanks

Yeeepppyyy, going to sew something for myself :D

Might I ask what pattern you used for this? I learned the hard way how to modify an ottobre pattern that was a full wrap. I accidentally cut the mock too short the first time I attempted.

Very, very nice work!

And great instructions, too! Can we get this saved to the FAQ Sewing Stuff Forum. Then I'll know where to find it when I'm ready to try one.
:p

I started with a regular t-shirt pattern that I've used a few times and liked the fit. It was a modified KSES t-shirt and then modified further into a mock wrap.

Also wanted to add that the line isn't a perfect straight edge. It comes down from the shoulder and then a subtle shift across. It is subtle but if I used my ruler and did a straight line either the neck was too high or the wrap line went right over a nipple and looked out of place.

bumping this and hoping that someone will add it to the sewing how-to.

(or do i email a moderator to do that?)
