SEW WHAT?.........A little fit and a little flare, That's what! [Pattern Review]




Just sharing a little pattern hack I finished last night. McCalls M6896 View C with self drafted sleeves.




  1. Pattern Description: Misses Top Close fitting and flared bottom. View C with self drafted sleeves.
  2. Pattern Sizing:8-24
  3. Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Almost, I added my own self drafted sleeves.
  4. Were the instructions easy to follow? VERY EASY
  5. Fabric Used: Denim with 3% spandex
  6. Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I hacked the sleeves but other than that no other alterations needed. I also used horse hair braid for my hem, I wanted the denim to flare as much as possible without a boning.
  7. Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? YES and YES!
  8. Conclusion: This is a fantastic pattern for a beginner, you will be so impressed after completing this project and the advanced sewist, this will be your quick go-to shirt pattern with a little flare.

  1. Those sleeves and the extra flared hem take this from basic to FABULOUS!
