I feel as though this blog is currently just repeat, repeat, repeat!  Today’s garment is the sixth Tabor V-Neck that I have sewn. You can read about the first five here and here.

This time around I’ve really managed the Goldilocks effect and got everything just right! The fabric type, the sizing, the print. Versions 4 and 5 of this pattern really does require you to use the recommended fabric types of sweater knit fabrics with at least 25% stretch such as sweater knits from wool jersey, novelty sweater knits and softer rib knits. Avoid knits with excellent stretch recovery (such as pontes and high lycra content fabrics- 6% and above) for use on the neckband.

I had this Super Cheap Fabrics sweater knit left over from making a dress. There was just enough to cut the top out while still placing the print in a pleasing way.

Fron the pattern website: The Tabor V Neck has many versions, but all feature drop shoulders and a loose fit through the body.
Version #1 has two neck options, a deep V-neck or a mitered neckband. It also features a curved hem and narrow, long sleeves.
Version #2 has two neck options, a deep V-neck or a mitered neckband. It also features a curved hem and banded, short sleeves to roll up.
Version #3 has two neck options, a deep V-neck or a mitered neckband. It also features a cropped, straight hem and is sleeveless.
Version #4 is a semi-deep V-neck with a lapped neckband. It also features a split hem with vented sides and narrow, long sleeves. It works best with sweater knits that do not have too much structure or stretch recovery.
Version #5 is a semi-deep V-neck with a lapped neckband. It also features a cropped, straight hem and is sleeveless. It works best with sweater knits that do not have too much stretch recovery.

I can’t remember what size I sewed; I would need to pull out the pattern to check. Maybe later! It was probably size 12 or 14. This is a terrific basics pattern, a bit elevated with side vents. Pay attention to the fabric recommendations for it to work best!
