Hot hot heat


OK.....so I know this dress borders on Mu Mu territory but when
you have been having the freaking heat wave we have been 
having.....well this is about the best dress EVER!


I really like the racer back style that fits perfectly with my
one & only racer back bra.....


& this 100% cotton like silk fabric is the coolest.


After these past 4 years of sewing I am still liking this un even hem &
 oh my suede Fergalicious wedges too.


This McCall's 6954 pattern was on the bias & took a lot of time to cut out
but well worth it.....as I was the only one cool at the office today!

Sew you later!

Hot Pink Dress


From this.......


to this.......a couple of hours...


using Butterick 5211, view C.

I added 2 inches to the sleeves &
as this dress will be for the office,
kept it just below the knee.


Sew you later!

the traveling skirt



Hello again Blog Friends!
Well I just returned from traveling & one of my fave
skirts went missing from London to Paris (my luggage
had a sticker on it saying it was a random check).
So what's a girl to do?......well sew up another one
of course, with the exact same fabric!


I used my New Look 6571 pattern & added in-seam pockets.


Oh & if you see my skirt walking around in Paris
this is the label inside ;)

Sew you later!
