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!

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!

easy Vogue

 I have been sewing this summer just was not up to posting but now that summer is over I finally found the time to post this easy Vogue 8380 project.

 

 I used this cotton batiste that I already had but it it was not enough so I had to cut the fabric a little different than the pattern.

I learned a few new sewing techniques from this project such as understitching the armhole facings....it made a neat stitch & finish.

This will be a around the house dress or nightgown though because even with my careful measuring the bodice was a little small.   I will be making this dress again for next summer because I really like the style!

Sew you later!
