I really liked the first/muslin version of the McCall 7193 woven top but it was too big. I tried again using a size 16 tapering to a size 22 at the hips. The crepe de chine wanted to move around a little when sewing but overall it was nice. I made short sleeves for this version and made the back piece have a center back seam so I could do a sway back adjustment.

It took Lily two lessons to complete her first project. She made an apron. She is a very fast learner and very eager. I enjoy our Monday lessons. Next week we are going to work on making a rainbow pillow.

I have an idea in mind for another McCall 7193.
Until next time............................

The top looks good! And how fun to have a sewing student.
ReplyDeleteRayon crepe de chine sounds soft and very smooth and I love the bright print . I can't believe it was only a few dollars to buy. You have chosen a great pattern to match. I'm jealous of your fabric mart buys.
ReplyDeleteI have this same fabric and I'm working on a top, great minds!
