You know I can't really resist purchasing new patterns with each new season. It's not as hard as it use to be but it's still hard. With the last big sale at McCall's, I indulged in new patterns. I really want to think that they will get used. Here they are:
This is 7351. I love the idea of a shirtdress and already have a chambray fabric ready. I selected this pattern because of the separate cup sizing. I'm hoping that I don't have to make as many changes to the pattern. After receiving this pattern, I realized that the skirt is very full. I do not care for that much fullness and will be paring it down a lot.
This is 7251. I really like both views of pattern. I'm hoping to find time to make both of them. I really like the thought of a woven pullover top. It seems to be what I have purchased the most of the past year.
This is 7357. I'm really drawn to this top. Love the shape, love that it has a little modesty panel. Oops guess what? Even though this model clearly shows having a modesty panel on the top, it isn't part of the pattern. This top NEEDS a modesty panel. I'll figure something out. Again, this is a woven top.
Happy Sewing!
i have 7251 and it's a great pattern, and a lot of fun to sew. Enough technical bits to keep it interesting, but lovely simple lines (and GREAT pockets). And the the other top is so different is just a bonus.
ReplyDeleteLove to hear this is a good pattern. I was looking at it again just last night. I need to locate a muslin fabric and then I can give it a try.
