Throwback Thursday McCall's 7155 Halter Top

This little cutie is dated 1980....the year of Elton John's Little Jeannie, Queen singing about a "Little Thing Called Love", and Blondie hit the charts big with "Call Me." OK, some of us were dancing to disco.

The halter top is easy to make and is sewn in one piece. The Wrap Top features cut-away armholes and has bias fronts with attached ties.....and depending on the wearer's mood, it can be worn frontwards or backwards. 

The pattern is for stretch knits only. It is a 90 Minute Fashion pattern. 

Make it in a sparkly, sequined fabric and you can dance all night.

Sewing Patterns: SummerTime Fun

I love summer....the food, the activities, and....the clothes. I love halters, shorts, sleeveless tops...Absolutely LOVE Them, so imagine me jumping up and down when I found these honeys at an estate sale. OK, no jumping up and down...at least not until I got home and didn't have an audience, other than very confused looked dogs and hubby.
