Liesl & Co - Camp Shirt - Polka Dot

I wanted to do some print mixing with my stripe skirt, so polka dots it is

McCall's 8055 and NIkko Top - Stripe Ponte

Quick knit pieces- yes, please.  I need these when I don't feel like sewing and want a jump start or after I finished a more difficult time-consuming pieces.  

The skirt is McCall's 8055 also known as #TillieMcCalls and is quick knit project

The fabric is Mood Fabrics' Ecru/Black Saint James Ponte

The top is my standard mock turtleneck, yep, you guessed it the Nikko Top.  I did make a couple of adjustments for the mock neckline. The ponte didn't have enough stretch for the mock.  I made it as is and I couldn't get it over my head.  I am so happy I tried to pull the mock over my head before I sewing it to the body of my Nikko.  To work through this, I deepened the neckline of the front shirt.  Also, I recut the mock pattern piece, I moved the pattern piece away from the fold 3/4".  That worked and it did work over my head!  I do wish I took a couple of inches off the arm facing, that just stretches too much.

The skirt I made a size 14 and that is too big.  I did take it in and will next time I will make a size 12.

I will wear these together or separate (which no pics!)  or layered with cute jackets, like my Ziggi jacket

These two garments took one night so it was a quick and rewarding sew.
