McCall's 6203




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!

  7. These 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 :-)
