New Look 6022

Another dress completed with my insane amount

of hoarded fabric & I'm not one to hoard anything!

I made a neck scarf to go with,

and for once I used a decorative stitch which

I never seem to use on my machine.

Mini-me is saying no to scarf.

Bias binding neckline hem which turned out ok.

I used New Look 6022 which is a easy pattern to sew.

I like the pleated sleeves & neckline.

Sew you later!

Mini-me & I are off to Europe in a few weeks so we

 have started to sew some garments for our trip.

She saw that I had all this fabric & wanted to design 

her own dress!

She picked this pink polka dot fabric & a little Spring 

time sateen for her design.

She sewed the skirt part & she asked for help with the stretchy polka

dot fabric.  I used a zig zag stitch of course.

I also serged the seams in tangerine because I still have not

changed the thread.......I know so bad.

This is her design....not bad for for a teen & so like her....original!  She plans on 

wearing this in France with a Beret.

Sew you later!

A twisted mess

the good.....

the bad....front twisted mess

and the ugly....serge neckline seams.

I knew my pattern sewing streak had to end & it did with this McCalls's 6704 view D, dress

that I made.  I used silver silk for the dress & tangerine chiffon for the overlay.

My shoes were the inspiration for this dress!

The chiffon was difficult to work with & I ended up serging it to make it resemble the 

pattern.

I do like this flowy overlay but matching up the seams did not quite work so I am thinking

I cut the chiffon off grain? or maybe backwards?

so I will try this pattern again but I will cut a size 10 next time as this pattern ran large.

Sew you later!
