I recently fell in love with this Kate Spade Saturday top. The back made a criss cross with a little peak of your back. Just enough coverage with a little pop. Simple, but so cute. FELL.IN.LOVE.
But what to do... At $80 for the designer name, it seemed just a little bit over excessive. So I mulled over it...
AND mulled over it... AND finally bought it with extreme reserve. My idea... I will just use it as a template and get my money's worth. Yes. Perfect rationale.
Well, my wonderful mom found a McCalls Pattern JUST like it. Lucky me. The $2 dollar on sale pattern and mom's reserve fabric made this simple, fun top in just under an hour! Lunch break project, easy.
Thanks Mom for saving me $78 dollars!! What do you think? Does it look like the Kate Spade inspiration?

Pattern Review:
The pattern used was McCall's M6751. It is categorized as 'easy' and is just that. I cut and sewed this pattern in well under an hour. Thankfully, my mom had all the supplies I needed on hand and there were no extra trips to the store. :) Happy days. I would recommend this one ten times over and plan to make several more in different colors. Can't wait to start making the next one!
Side note: You can see my parent's beautiful backyard in all its green glory! Take that Minnesota. ;)
Happy Sewing!
