One word - quick. This is a simple pattern with the body and sleeves all-in-one. I liked the neckline featured in the black/white version on the pattern envelope. I tried this with my fabric, using the shirt fabric and a solid blue. It didn't work at all, my fabric is a tissue weight and wasn't heavy enough to support the weight of the wider neckline.
Only change - I tapered the side seams at the waist for a bit of shaping.
So if you need a quick new top for the holidays, look at McCall's 6203
One more shot -
Okay, looks better with the sweater and belt.
Off to first varsity basketball game, one girl is starting tonight!
I love your new blouse. I love the Jalie blouse from your last post as well. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat print. You find the coolest knit prints! The t-shirt is simply chic! Hope your girl played well. I played basketball in high school with my sister who is 6' tall. Fun memories!
ReplyDeleteits always amazes me how the simple patterns works out so great, the print for this top is beautiful and I will add it to my list

ReplyDeleteCute top! Things don't always have to be complicated to look terrific. Sometimes, you just need some simplier things in your wardrobe. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to find very nice printed jersey. I love the simple lines of this piece.
ReplyDeleteThese simple shapes look so good on you - you have an eye for choosing the right fabric to showcase. Of course it might have something to do with your cute shape also :-)
