Well I am here! I am sorry that I have not posted any of my recent projects. It has been a crazy 3 weeks. I transferred to a new property and I have had to adjust to the change. The first two days I thought I had made the wrong decision to transfer there. But now I realized that I am here for a reason and my goal is to improve my department. So I am going to give this property 200%. Change is never easy but it is worth it.
I’ve relied on my family and sewing to calm my nerves. Now if I can find time to take pictures we will be on the right foot.
Yesterday I woke up and decided to make a top to wear to work. I chose Easy Stitch -n- save McCall 9144 which is also Kwik Sew 3497. This top was made with sleeves. I decided to use the sleeves from Kwik Sew 4207.
For Kwik Sew 3497/Easy Stitch -n- save 9144 was cut in a size medium neckline, Extra Large bust, and the remainder of the top in a size Large. I made a mistake with cutting the back piece. I forgot to cut the neckline. So I made me own neckline instead of using the pattern piece. So the back neckline is a little lower than the pattern piece. Then I cut the size Large sleeves from Kwik Sew 4207. This is a great top to wear under blazers and cardigans.
The fabric I used was purchased at Joann’s in May. It was a 1 yard remnant and I was determined to make a shell with this fabric.
This was a very quick sew. I used my serger to make most of this top and finish the neckline, sleeves, and hem with my sewing machine.
I have a few more remnants in my stash that I would like to use as tops. I will probably use this pattern a few more times before I retire it.
If you have this pattern definitely make it.
