McCalls 6841...a flattering drape


I love this top! Everyone else loves it, too. My mom and sisters-in-law each requested a version. Mom's is pictured below in the black and white print. I would have made myself one, too, but I didn't have enough of the print. There are more of the these on the cutting room table.... The next ones will be sleeveless. More details on my blog










These are a few other prints waiting to become M6841 as well!

HOW MANY MUSLINS WILL YOU DO?

before cutting into my "pretty fabric" I decided I'd better do a muslin likeI had seen so many do lol! I  was drawn by this OOP pattern in my stash that I'd purcased a while back because it seemed to have a sweet swissy look at the bottom, this is my 2nd muslin & I'm not seeing the swissy yet lol! I had to totally recreate the pattern & even though it's the right size & the right length after fighting it for 2 days I'm not sure I'll use it again muslin #2 just needs sleeves & lining, so what ya think? is it worthy of finishing? more of this horror story on my blog lol!
