McCall's 6036 is my go-to pattern when making a knit shirt for Meredith
My design instructions from Meredith were to mix the stripes
Use the solid navy for the back and include a curved hem with a high-low look.
Side view
I was able to get all this done and had only scraps left of the fabric. I did use the navy to bind the neckline and the armholes. Turning the armhole binding all the way to the inside so it did not show at all.
I lowered the underarm seams about 3/8" but from the wrinkles in the picture, I should of lowered it a bit more.
She said it was just what she wanted!
Note: It probably seems like I am only sewing for Meredith right now and she does have a twin, Kaitlyn. I told Kaitlyn I would make her some clothes and she said okay but in reality Kaitlyn is a running shorts and t-shirt kind of girl. I do have an order for a laptop sleeve!
She must be a delight to sew for.
ReplyDeleteShe is very fun, loves clothes and fashion. Spends lots of time on Pinterest!
