McCalls M6844 Pattern Review

Saw this pattern and fell for the high low swingy peplum. I was looking for a bit of sass and I found it with M6844. I love it!🎉. Cutting out was ok.

Watched a video sew along by Crafty Gemini on YouTube. Comes together so easily. Seriously it was so easy. I used a very stable red ponte knit. Its interesting how the seams are strengthened by sewing 2 seam Iines 4mm apart. The instructions called for interfacing the collar but I did not do that because the knit is thick anyway and I thought it would have resulted in a stiff collar. So here is what I felt like when I tried it on and wore it for the first time

“Oh no you didn’t just make that peplum cardio! Do a jig girl!”

My own mods included encasing the waist seam in a pink satin bias binding. Applied same to the collar seam – just for a neat interior. It looked great all on its own but to give it a little something something I crocheted a simple square trim onto the sleeve hem. Navy blue was the only colour I had in crochet thread so navy blue it was! I liked it. Not much else to say except that I love this and can see why its one of the most popular reviews pattern on Pattern Review. Drum roll here comes the pictures! Loads and loads….
