    I love the Malo pattern. I'm a UK size 10 but I sized down in the pattern, I made a size 2. I alfso added 2" to the length. Im 5'5" for reference. I still managed to make it from 1 metre of fabric, not 8ncluding my ribbing. I love your Marlo, the fabric is gorgeous.

    • @Dianne-ut5vr
      @Dianne-ut5vr Před 23 hodinami

      Hi Annette, yes i did alter the underarm. It is a wide arm piece so I pinched the pattern piece in at the center and made a little fold and this made it narrower, also made the body a tiny bit narrower and you can shape it a little as you sew the whole underarm and side seam in one. ☺

    I've made that top a couple of times myself. I find it a really comfortable wear. I'm still a bit nervous to try making jeans yet, although I would like to do so. I'm busy still thinking about summer as we are travelling over the other side of the world for a couple of months during our winter, to visit family and I am expecting (at least hoping) it will be considerably warmer with their summer than ours has been, so although I agree it is getting cooler, I just can't get my head around what I should make for here before I go for our autumn. I've just a couple more things to make and then no doubt with the cooler south Yorkshire weather, I will be scrambling to make something warmer. Your top and jeans look great
