I had a few ladies who were interested in the pattern I offered on my last post and to be fair, I wrote everyone's name on a piece of paper and had the Hubby draw a name. The winner of McCalls 6243 free pattern is...
Congratulations Candice of Sew My Time! Email me where you want your pattern sent and I will get it out to you right away. Thanks everyone for participating and the great comments!
Thank goodness I saw Sandra's version on pattern review, otherwise I would have never given this pattern a second look or made it and I love this very comfortable and cute little top!
It sews up very quickly and it's so comfortable! I love the pleating in the front and back that cinch the waist giving the top a "peplum" type look. The only alteration I had to make was taking up an additional 1" seam allowance in the shoulder seam to shorten the V-Neck front so it would be work appropriate and I didn't want to wear a cami with it.
The fit is perfect! Don't you think?
I'm sure I will be making this one again! I used a rayon challis in a really cute snake skin print. The colors are a white background with black, brown with a touch of gold. I purchased the fabric from Hancock Fabrics a little while ago, so they may still have it.
If you like this style, it is so worth your while!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
