My Fashion Star McCalls' 6553 pattern is finally done!
This pattern called for interfacing, I only had the fusible
facing left so I made it with that.
The pattern pocket instruction I still do not understand but used my own
way which is how I learned to make pockets.....from a book.
I love a dress with pockets!
I used a linen blend fabric.
Even I could understand the loop tie but I made it with a little ruffle. I chose a
fun pink button.
I serged the hem with tangerine thread & still might do a proper hem but I
wore it like this today.
The back interfacing gives the dress a crisp look that I am liking.
So this "easy" dress made me revisit interfacing as I had not sewn with that
in a couple of years & made me remember how to insert seam pockets!

Do you mind sharing the name of the paint color on the wall behind...IT looks beautiful (and yes, we are on crazy, ideal paint finding mission,....hehe
Wow, nice dress. And you made it by yourself.
Thanks for your comments. I am glad to be back. Your dress looks great. I love the back.... and the pockets.
This is gorgeous! I'm so glad I saw this at sewcountrychick... I'm always looking for something to make for myself but haven't seen anything as nice as this before, I'm definitely going to try it:)
I love the dress, I really like the serged hem in a different color, I think it adds a little something to the dress. Great job!
It's lovely! I love houndstooth. Great job!
You look very chic Denise! Thanks for stopping by!
