I was definitely feeling the leaf print motif this summer. For the May SewYourView I chose to use this pretty knit leaf print fabric that I had in my stash and got from Wherehouse Fabrics in Dallas.
The fabric is so soft and felt so good on my skin.
The pattern McCall’s 8047 #ediemccalls is such a great pattern to make.
I had no adjustments for this pattern but for the next one I will size down for the bodice and will add pockets to the pants. I love a pockets. The elastic that was used in the bodice serves to help keep the bodice from sliding down, however I could have tightened mine a bit by making it shorter. Next time, I will shorten in a bit so that the pattern stays put when wearing. I did have to ensure that the bodice was secure to my bra so that it didn’t move while wearing.
This pattern is definitely a resort style pattern and also can lend itself to other fabric choices. I plan to do the other views as well.
xoxo
