McCall's M7094 Notched Collar Pull-Over

熱波が通り過ぎたら、もう夏は終わりました。イギリスの夏は短い。
涼しくなったので、袖の長めのシャツを作ろうと計画中。
使う予定の型紙はマッコールの7094番。かなりフィットがゆるめなので、試作・練習用にノースリーブバージョンを作ってみました。(袖まで縫ってサイズが合わないとショックだからさ)
夏っぽく真っ白で。
やっぱり練習用に一つ縫ってよかった。近くに寄っては見せられません(爆)
いつものことだけど、スリッパ姿で失礼。


When the heat wave left, it took summer away with it. Summer in England is short. Now that the weather has cooled down considerably, I am planning on making a longer sleeve top using McCall's M7094. I like View B, the rolled-up sleeves with contrast fabric.
However, I wasn't sure about the sizing and fit (many reviewers on Pattern Reviews mentioned it runs big), so as a practice round, I made a sleeveless version, View A, with a leveled hem instead of a curved back hem.

I cut a size XS and shortened the bodice by 1". The pattern definitely runs large and this is a very loose-fitting top. (As always, please excuse my slippers.)


The fabric is a very soft and drapey rayon. It was 58" wide and I was able to cut all the pieces in 1 meter of fabric.


I did add a button for the front placket. Without the button, it does gape open with movement and you will have to wear a cami under it. I will probably wear a cami regardless because it is a bit too loose  for my liking to wear without a cami (I don't like draft going through my belly).


I messed up the notched collar a bit so if you come close to me, you will see some terrible sewing job. (And a tiny hole on the collar where I accidentally cut and left it as is)

Though it looks like a simple top, the sewing was a bit fiddly. Mainly because of the drapey fabric, but also because it has pleats and yoke and partially bound armhole and placket and notched collar.

I do really like the overall design and detail like the notched collar and pleats at the yoke. I am very pleased with this one as a wearable muslin. Now onto the "real" version. Unfortunately it's another drapey rayon so fiddly sewing continues.
