Franken-patterning the cowl

Did I mention I wanted a simple cowl t-shirt? I am on fire, dear Readers. I pulled out some left over fabric, used the front and sleeves of McCalls 6069, and the back of a plain t-shirt pattern (I can't find my go-to Simplicity, so I used McCalls 4923 for the back, and here it is, a couple of hours of work! (I still have to hem the sleeve though.)

Here it is!
(The front.)


(The back.)

Hmmm . . I do love that dress fabric, and this top is a good use of both patterns. I think you could use this Frankenpattern as the basis for a dress. The paisley dress since there is quite a bit of fabric in that back drape might be able to be recut so there isn't so much fabric back there; but, that's work and it is much more fun just to make a new dress!
