I love a pattern that can be made over and over! I’m know some people can’t stand the thought of making up a pattern more than once (My mom was like this.), but I am ALL OVER making a pattern multiple times if it’s one I love.

McCall’s 7756 is one of those patterns for me. I’ve made it twice and have already been planning to make it at least one more time. I blame it on the gorgeous silky burgundy fabric in my stash that keeps taunting me.

My first make of this was the shorts version. I made it to wear with cowboy booties to an outdoor concert with my husband, and it remains one of my favorite concert outfits because it was so comfortable. I originally only decided to make this so that I could showcase my body chain, but as it turns out, I love this romper with or without the body chain.

I’ve also worn this shorts version with sandals and with my Gucci sneakers. It’s a great casual little romper that is perfect for shopping and beach trips.

My second make of this was the pants version with sleeves from McCall’s 7723. I’ve worn this version to church, a casual event, and a date night at a friend’s house. The pants version is not only classy but comfortable.

This pattern is not a new release, but it is still in print. So you’re in luck if you want to whip this up for yourself.

Before you get sewing, here is my review of this pattern.

McCall’s 7756 Pattern Review

Describe this pattern.

Loose fitting jumpsuits and romper have front that extends into tie, elasticized waist, pockets, sleeve variations, and leg length variations.

What is the difficulty level for McCall’s 7756?

This pattern is easy. There are no buttons or zippers involved so this is a great pattern for a beginner seamstress.

What type of fabric would be best for this pattern?

Both times I sewed this pattern, I used “silky solids” from JoAnn’s. The fabrics are amazing because not only is there an array of solids and prints to choose from, but they do not wrinkle! Holla!

Are the pattern directions easy to follow?

Yes.

What did you like about this pattern?

I love that this pattern is easy and versatile. Depending on the chosen fabric, there is potential to create a variety of looks. I also love the option to create shorts or pants.

What did you dislike about this pattern?

I loved everything about this pattern.

Did you make any alterations to this pattern?

Both times I made this, I created an internal elastic waistband because I did not want stitching at the waist on the outside of the garment. To do this, I utilized my French seam which joined the top and bottom pieces as a casing for my elastic. Because of the cutout in the front of this garment, I was able to pop the elastic through my French seam casing. After firmly stitching the elastic down on both sides of the front, I also tacked it down on the side and back seams. I can’t give you an exact reason why I decided to do this, but I love the way it looks and fits so I will continue with my weird waistband preference every time I make this. The second time I made this pattern, I used the sleeves from McCall’s 7723. I chose to use the top and middle flounce from View B.

Do you recommend this pattern? Would you sew it again?

This is a great pattern for the beginner seamstress. The fit is great and forgiving, the instructions are easy to understand, and this pattern can easily translate to every season.

If you haven’t made this up yet, I hope you’ll give this pattern a try. You won’t regret it.

Until next time!

XOXO, Amy
