Jalie 2806 in Gray Wool Jersey

When I bought the gray wool flannel for my planned Thurlow pants, I realized I could use some gray wool jersey. I love wool jersey, and I hadn't bought any since way back when I first wanted to try out that fabric and I bought cream and a green that doesn't look great on me. I love gray, but I don't have enough plain gray tops to wear with all the suits and pants I have that look great with gray. Duh! I found some gray wool jersey and added it to the order.

I have sewn Jalie 2806 a few times before. I get a lot of use out of one of them, the gray and black camo. The cream jersey one I wear infrequently because the color doesn't go with other things in my closet and the red also infrequently maybe because I don't like the red, or maybe because I sewed it with the stretch going up and down instead of sideways. Anyway, I have thought the tops flattering, so I decided to use this pattern with the gray jersey. Gosh it was fun to take out a pattern that was already traced, cut, sized properly, and ready to use. It came together so fast I had the feeling for once that I knew what I was doing. I used my serger for the seams and my coverstitch for the hem and sleeve hems. The necking binding was basted in on the sewing machine and sewn on the serger.

I am very happy with this top, but I did notice that it pinches at the underarm. How do I fix that?
