A Classic Cami: from Mimi G Make it yours book

A Classic Cami by Mimi G

This is my first make from Mimi G’s book. Make it Yours: A Sewist’s Guide to a Custom Wardrobe

Overview:

Skill Level: ★

Sewing Time: an hour

Pattern Rating: ★★★★★

Pattern:

A basic cami is a staple piece for me. It can be worn with slacks, with jeans, a skirt or under a jacket or blazer. Making it great for a main piece in the summer and a layering piece in the fall.

This cami came together so quickly because it’s simply a front, back, facings and straps. It took me longer to decide on strap length than it did to sew the top, LOL. I love the soft V neckline

Fabric:

I’ve used this fabric before for McCalls 8083 and I used what I had left over for this cami. It’s from Fabric.com which is now sold through Amazon.

Modifications: none

Lessons Learned:

Shortened the straps about 2.5 inches.
