Hope you’re all having a wonderful week so far. It’s been nice here in Minneapolis, we finally got over the storm and flood. Looks like everything in Minneapolis is always extra 🙂 extra snow, extra rain, extra sun hehe.
I’m wearing a Knit dress here and I used elastic for the neck so I could easily make it off the shoulder. But here I combined it with an African print jacket which I did a review on at the end of the photos below. I used Mccalls 6844 for this jacket.
Pattern Review: Mccalls 6844
Pattern Description: McCalls 6844 Misses Cardigans View C
Fabric Used: African Print Cotton Fabric
Pattern Size: I used 10/12
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? I think so
Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were easy to follow.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the pattern because its a very simple and easy style that could be easily manipulated.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made? I added more fullness to the peplum and shortened the sleeves. I added extra 1/2″ allowances because the pattern was designed for moderate stretch knit.
Would you sew it again? Yes I will sew it again but I will be using knit, the pattern is designed for knit fabric. I will like to see what it feels like in Knit.
Would you recommend it to others? Yes very simple.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today
Xoxo
