Hello there! Yesterday may have been National Coffee Day, but I think I'm celebrating today. I've had several extra cups this morning while I slowly pencil in the next week's to-do's. A high point of the beginning of this week: this incredibly comfy top I made from McCall's 7247. I used two layers of soft, 100% cotton jersey knits. The outside is a heather gray (available here), and the inside is a beautiful violet (not available anymore).
The top overlaps in a tulip-style in the front, and if I were to make it again, I would make the overlap a bit longer in the front.
I typically don't sew with knits. As I continue to grow and expand my sewing experience, I find that I am pleased with things that previously scared me, and this is certainly the case with this knit top.
This dual-layered cutie will be great in the winter, and I would like to make another short-sleeved version for the warmer months. Have you made this blouse? What does your version look like? Thank you for reading and happy Monday!
Wow, love this top on you and the little plaid skirt you made! Nice work. Please pin your makes with our patterns to our fan gallery on Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1koHoHu Thanks!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! I love the colors you chose! The pop of color underneath or when you roll up the sleeves is very fun. I am adding this to my "to sew" list (it's the perfect season for it!).
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It was a really simple to follow pattern, I totally recommend it. I'd love to see a picture of your version when you're done! Happy sewing!
DeleteThis is such a cute pattern and you did a great job! Where did you buy your knit? Xo A Domestic Wildflower
ReplyDeleteThank you, miss! I purchased both from The Tin Thimble. They don't have the violet anymore, but I just linked the heather gray in the post.
DeleteI have just ordered this pattern. Can't wait to get started.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good purchase! I'd love to see your finished product. Happy sewing!
