I’ve been wardrobe building with tops recently, specifically woven tops. The latest is made with McCall’s 7360.
I used this using View A. It’s basically a Henley top made from woven fabric rather than knit. It’s got some nice variations as well so this could be used in most seasons.
The alterations for making this involved what has become a standard for me lately – the FBA. For this top I would recommend using a soft cotton or cotton blend. You definitely don’t want any fabric that’s too stiff since you want to garment to be comfortable and move with you. As I said above, this is basically a woven Henley top, so keep that in mind.
This is pretty straight-forward and easy to make. I’m wondering, and might try this another time, if this could be made from a stable (or mostly stable) knit. I have used other patterns that weren’t made for knit patterns and done that and actually liked the results better!
This is a really nice pattern that I overlooked!! I like your top and your suggestion ofusing a knit. I bet if you found a nice weighty jersey that wasn’t too drapey, it would work well!
I actually used a ponte knit for a woven dress pattern (pull-over dress) and I was so happy with the result. It was so comfortable, so I’m thinking the same thing with this… Thanks!
Oh I love a good Henley. Yours is so cute.
Thanks Faye.
