This week we've had a few days that actually felt like winter, so I was inspired to work with some warmer fabric. I have this great pattern, McCall's 5271, that has several different variations of a knit shirt. I chose view F, it has a cowl front, long sleeves and a band at the bottom that makes the top blousey. The fabric I chose is a black and gray lacy paisley print in medium weight knit....very soft and comfy!
The pattern was very easy to sew. There were just four pieces to cut out: the front, back, band, and sleeve. It only took me a few hours to make the whole thing.
I am very pleased with how it turned out and plan to wear a black or white tank top under it. I will probably make one of the other views sometime too.
