My Top 5 Tips when sewing McCalls 6035 Shirt Pattern are:
- Stitch the curved hemline BEFORE you sew the side seams.
- If you have an overlocker (serging machine) use it on the curved part of the hemline using a differential feed feature. This gathers the curve so when you take the hemline up, the fabric easily eases around the curve and sits perfectly flat.
- When stitching the buttonholes, use a small amount of fabric fray glue on the wrong side of the buttonhole. This prevents the buttonhole from unraveling or fraying.
- Introduce a contrasting fabric for the collar stand and front tab for added interest.
- When using a contrasting fabric ensure it is compatible with the main fabric used.
McCalls Pattern 6035 has 4 shirt views, princess line and a variety of sleeve styles for your selection. Suggested fabrics are: lightweight fabrics such as cotton, cotton blends, challis, crepe de chine, silk rayon & linen.
