A houndstooth dress


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!

The last Fashion Star pattern that I'll make?  I have been trying to sew this dress since last August!


I was waiting for this linen houndstooth fabric to go on sale & it finally did.....I got the 
last 3 meters!
