I have this vintage cotton skirt that is perfect for the warm summer weather but it hardly sees the light of day because I struggle to find a suitable top to wear with it.
Until now, McCall's 7630, a loose-fitting pullover top pattern just happens to be what I've been looking for. And there's some raw silk that was sitting in my stash that was perfect for the project.
I'm really thankful that this weekend all of the new patterns that I tried out worked. I read review of this pattern that others wished they added length to this pattern so to caution on the safe side, I added an inch to the hemline. And then I removed the added length. The original length on me was perfect.
The only change I made was take advantage of the many options that come with this pattern. I basically used view B with view E's back.
The Stats:
Fabric: 1.3 metres
Pattern: McCall's 7630
Additional Tools and Supplies: Iron, ironing board, cutting table, scissors, measuring tape, pins, pin cushion, sewing machine, thread, tailor's chalk, seam ripper, serger and more thread.
Happy Sewing!
Nice top! Love the color! Really like the options with this pattern, too. I think I'll be adding it to my wishlist.
