Front with tie in bow


Front with tie in bow
Originally uploaded by Danvillegirl
I completed the McCall's blouse pattern. It is an OOP. I had some issues with the v-neck line and the bias binding piece. Next time I will use bias binding and not the pattern piece to cut a binding. The pattern piece for binding is too big. I made other adjustments as well. I wanted to show the tie, tied into a bow. I lightened the photo so you could better see this.

I have the blouse hanging for 24 hours since front and back are cut on bias. This is done in case the hemline grows.

All in all, I like the pattern and now know what fitting changes to make next time. I will post a review at PR soon.

  2. Beautiful blouse and thanks for the tip about the bias binding. I went to ebay and bought the pattern when you first introduced it to us and it is in my queue to stitch up! Mary
