This is a pattern with a surprise in the back! When will they learn to use the front of the envelope to show us all the features of a pattern? Imagine my surprise when looking at the line drawing and discovering this cool back option. This is McCalls 7094 and I love wearing it!
Wearing this is light and breezy, but with enough of an overlap so that skin never shows. There was already a plan to use two different prints of rayon crepe from Marcy Tilton. I didn’t have enough fabric to make this back option, but adding a bit of rayon batik from my stash for the smaller elements, and simplifying the sleeve, solved the problem.
I’m ready to start making fall clothes, my favorite time of the year, but next summer I think I will come back to this pattern with a light linen and maybe some hand stitched details, or some machine embroidery along the placket. It’s nice to think that around March I may already have a project!
BTW My cat Ichi is proud to be on the 2017 Calendar of Fort Collins Cat Rescue. Thanks for your votes!

Beautiful shirt. The contrast fabric really makes it pop. I will be ordering this pattern too.
Love your shirt, Wendy, and combination of fabrics!! Really great! I’ll have to checkout the pattern. Thanks.

Great looking shirt!
Go Ichi! This is a really lovely shirt…I never seem to look at McCall’s so thanks for making it up. Love the back especially. Hope all is well.
Love the style you pumped into this shirt! Looks great.
That’s a very chic shirt! I’ll have to get the same pattern since this is so much my style. Thank you for sharing 🙂
You should change your picture with one of you having a big laugh! Like a close up of when you got the roses in Taos. Much prettier.
