Forty ’til 40 // McCall’s 7692

Hey Family…..Can we say piping? Have you ever added piping to any of your garments? Or thought about adding piping to your garments? Honestly, I have not. But when this McCall’s pattern came to life I was like Yasssss…….This is outfit #3 of 40 for my Forty ’til 40 favorite makes. Now I have always loved the statement piping detail makes on a garment, but just not on me..lol Have you ever seen an outfit on someone else and say WOW, that looks great on them, but I could never pull that off. Well, that’s how I’ve always felt about piping detailing until I actually saw it on me and I actually liked it. Taught me a lesson!

I made this outfit for the Jan/Feb 2019 issue of Sewn Mag (which I hope you got your copy)! That issue may be sold out. In that issue however, I detailed how to make the piping and add it to your garment.

I really love McCall’s patterns. I can usually cut the pattern to fit with very little alterations. I cut the size 10 in the blouse and 14 in the pants.
