I made this McCall’s woven sweatshirt last week. Although, I actually used a knit that doesn’t have a lot of stretch. In all honesty, I found some material that I really liked so I was anxious to try it for this top.
This is a picture of View C which is the one I made. There are variations for the sleeves and hem line.
I used a textured knit for the shirt which made it more interesting without making it more difficult.
I made this in large, although the next time I would make it closer to medium. I really need to pay more attention to the finished measurements on the envelope, rather than going by my measurements. It’s a bit more full than necessary or what I would normally like. I think that might not be as much of an issue using a woven material. But, It is comfortable and very easy to make. Next time I will use the suggested types of fabrics (like you’re supposed to do – ha ha).
All in all, I do like the pattern. I like that there are sleeve options and hemline options so you can get a different look depending on what you choose to do. This only took a few hours to put together, so it’s a quick and easy project.
Until next time…
Cute sweatshirt! I like your color combination. Happy New Year!
And to you as well!
Happy Christmas to you along with a Healthy and Prosperous New year!
Thanks!
Very pretty fabric and I love the color! That would be a 'go-to' top for me…great job!
Yes, next time I'll know to take some of the fullness out. But it is really comfortable. Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks!
It suits you and loks warm and comfortabe. I wonder if a medium would be better though, it does seem a trifle large….but never mind! It can be worn when you want to be really casual and on chilly evenings watching the television. Good job! Happy Christmas!
