Black drape dress

I needed another black dress to wear to the 

art theater the other night, so I sewed this 

easy McCall's 6069 pattern.

I used a heavy ponte de roma knit

that feels luxurious to wear.

I did a few mods by having the back

drape more than the front,

as I had made this dress a few years back 

& was forever pulling up the front 

bodice gape.

I also added about 2 inches to the

sleeves.

An easy dress to sew but took me about 4 hours rather

than the 1 hour the pattern claims.

I like this style with the inseam pockets

but I always belt it as

it looks too frumpy without it!

Sew you later!

Vogue 1250 DKNY Metropolitan Dress

This is a seriously easy dress to make,

a 3 piece pattern!

I have made it before,
& that is what it should look like!

So how could I mess it up you ask?

Well.....by barely having enough of

this fabric I like to call metropolitan
as I have made 2 dresses
& a top with this cool fabric.

I was a teeny short on one end

that happened to be the sleeves
& the waist

& you can tell.

A little cardigan takes care of my mistake though
as I really like this jersey fabric.

Sew you later!

Daughter's Dress

This is the New Look Pattern 6125 that I cut in a size 12 for my 

middle daughter aka the Model, view A.

This pattern was easy but I did have a little trouble with the lining,

by the instructions: turn lining INSIDE by pulling each 

back through front at shoulder seams.  It seems

simple now!

My mistake was using this stiff fabric for the lining.

I also could of made the hip & waist a size 8 or 10 as this

pattern runs large.  I omitted the zipper because

of this & I serged another 2 inches off  hem in

 hot pink that she likes.

  She ended up wearing a belt &

it gave the dress some shape right away.

I will make this easy dress again but will use a similar

lining fabric next time.

Sew you later!
