1 - 1 3/8yd tops McCalls 6282

Mccalls 6282

This should go quickly, and there are a few knits I need to move through.  These are the kind of pieces that I reach for, a t-shirt with a little flair.... and the best part, they take so little fabric, 1 yard for sizes 8 -12, 1 3/8 yards for sizes 18-22, they also call for lining on the pattern 3/4 yd of 60" tricot lining for all sizes.  I might try it without the lining to see what happens:).   The pattern also has dress variations.

I have two knits one a cotton spandex from fabricmart,
006

and the other a Missoni type textured polyester knit.



007
I also have a few more expensive knits in the stash, that I have very little yardage of, so if this works, I might be able to finally cut into the good stuff.

The night shirt is waiting for a 1/2 yard cut of fabric that is in the dreaded misc tubs.... as soon as I find it, I'll do that next.
