Here’s yet another garment made out of the raspberry knit. In case you’re wondering, NO, it is not yet warm enough around here to wear a short skirt and sleeveless top. This photo was taken last fall.<\/p>\n

\"raspberry-knit-draped-top-mccalls-6078\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been meaning to review this pattern for some time now, but every time I thought to write the review, I came up with another piece of fabric from which to make another top.<\/p>\n

This is the latest. \u00a0It’s an ITY knit from Fabric.com. \u00a0I love the diagonal stripes.<\/p>\n

\"draped-top-mccalls-6078-002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A friend had a bag of fabric, and I managed to scrounge this pretty red sparkle knit.<\/p>\n

\"draped-top-mccalls-6078-003\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there’s this navy blue. \u00a0I think I bought 15 yards for $1\/yd when my local fabric store was going out of business.<\/p>\n

\"draped-top-mccalls-6078-004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These tops are all \u00a0made with knits, and all are the same size. \u00a0You might notice that the drape and stretch of each fabric really makes a big difference in how they hang (and fit.)<\/p>\n

The raspberry fabric (top photo) was SO stretchy that I couldn’t comfortably wear it – unless I planned to not ever bend over that day. \u00a0Ooops.<\/p>\n

So I made it into view C, with the loops gathering up a bit of the excess.\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s my review of the pattern.<\/p>\n

Pattern Description: <\/strong> MISSES’ TOPS: Top A has front and back stitched pleats, front drape, lapped back and extended shoulder seams; top B has stitched front pleats and drape; top C has front drape and contrast loops.<\/p>\n

Pattern Sizing:<\/strong> Xsm, Sm, Med – I made the small. On less stretchy fabrics I added 1\/4-inch to each side seam.<\/p>\n

Did it look like the photo\/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?<\/strong> Yes! Depending on how stiff or drapable your fabric is you will get slightly different looks. I only made view B\/C. The very open back of view A makes me cold just to look at it.<\/p>\n

Were the instructions easy to follow?<\/strong> Super duper easy.<\/p>\n

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?<\/strong> I love that I can make one of these tops in about an hour with less than a yard of fabric.<\/p>\n

Fabric Used:<\/strong> I made this pattern four times, twice in cotton jersey, once in a glittery slub knit and once in an ITY.<\/p>\n

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:<\/strong> One of my cotton jersey fabrics was VERY stretchy, and ended up a bit too revealing for comfort, so I added the loops (view C) to gather up some of the excess fabric. My other cotton jersey was more stiff, and it turned out being a little snug. For the ITY I added 1\/4-inch to each side seam so it would not be tight across my middle.<\/p>\n

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?<\/strong> I’ve already made it four times, but I wouldn’t hesitate to make it again if the right fabric comes along.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/strong> This top is a great wardrobe staple. It can be worn on it’s own in nicer weather or can be layered under a jacket or sweater for cooler days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
