A Comfy day dress

After all the holiday celebrations & dinners it is nice to chill out

& wear something comfortable....aka fat day dress, that iMade!

This dress was made using my New Look 

pattern 6936.  Another easy dress & it was an

easy sew but it had been laying around since summer for

me to finish it up!

I did make a change by ommiting the elastic around

the bodice.....I did sew it in & then seam ripped it out.

as you can noticeably see.

It was way more comfortable this way &

I  serged the neckline & butterfly sleeves in hot pink.

I really like this fabric from 

Laura's Fashion Fabric in White Rock, B.C.

& I think I am out of fabric (lol) so I will be there shopping soon.

Oh & "mom" necklace, the green amethyst ring &

white bootie slippers are all gifts from 

my loving family.

Sew you later!

A Vogue 8552 dress

A Vogue dress.....& yes it is very easy!

I like the pleats in this pattern, front & back

but is was the big pockets that

first interested me about this pattern.

I did misplace the sleeve part of this pattern,

this is the 2nd pattern I have done this.

So I picked this Simplicity that

look similar, & used that.

I made it in a size 12.

Sew you later!

70's Jumpsuit

I have been wanting a jumpsuit for awhile now

& I finally had some time to make one.

I used McCall's 6083 & it was an easy pattern to follow.

This silk jersey was a dream to sew up.

I was actually a little nervous to cut 

into this fabric....a bit more expensive

than my bottom of the bin bargain

fabrics I usually buy.

The only adjustment I had problems with

was the bodice cross over....it keeps gapping,

but an easy fix.

I made version E bodice with version B crop pants.

Sew you later!


P.S.  don't mind the dying mandarin orange tree.....I live in Vancouver not Portugal!
