McCall's 6078

Pattern Description: Cowl neck top


Sizing: XS (4-6) to XL (20-22)

Instructions:  They were easy to follow and I thought the cowl neck instructions were easy to follow

Likes/Dislikes:  Erin picked this out for another work top with the normal shirt back.  The drape and cut of the red one above is a beautiful back but not so appropriate for student teaching.  I think this is the prettiest cowl neck, the drape is gorgeous.

Fabric:  ITY from fabric.com

Conclusion:  This is a great top, quick to sew and a dramatic effect.  I am quite pleased and so is she.  I think I need one for my wardrobe now




Today is a beautiful day, I am off work early and heading to spread mulch on all my flowerbeds.  This weekend is going to be cold and miserable, so I plan on sewing for me.  This morning I started cutting out this jacket from a blue and white seersucker.

    Funky modern top! Gotta love a good cowl neck. I'm curious if you are planning to make the view with the low cross back for yourself? I'd like to make a top like the red one this summer, but it looks like you might need a tie to keep it from falling off your shoulders.

    When my daughter Judy was student teaching they told them to bend over and touch thier toes and if anything shows it's to low.

    Love it! I just picked this up last weekend and plan to make version C in a big red polka dot knit I picked up at Hancock.

    Very pretty. I imagine your sewing time will get limited with nice weather coming, and all the lovely gardening you do. Plus pool.
