Modern Leopard Dress

I bought this fabric a couple of years ago from Laura's Fashion Fabric in

White Rock, BC & I love it!  I was thinking of a simply boatneck

shift dress but chose this very easy McCall's 6199 pattern.

It is that type of pattern that you can make a dress

in the afternoon to wear to dinner.....which I did.

I made the long sleeve version & added some Tiffany

Blue bias type for the neckline & cuffs.

I like the contrast!

Sew you later!

p.s. I dont know why but it was hard to photograph this fabric

Powder Puff Skirt

A skirt my daughters made for me from 

silk curtains (extra panel & a little help from me with the zipper) 

that still grace my bedroom!

The hem is done in my fave hot pink & the pin

tucks had to be removed before sewing.

Sew you later!

I finally finished sewing the Simplicity 3514 Hannah Montana pattern that my youngest daughter chose a few years ago while she was a child.

Now that she is a teenager I made view D but I made it into a dress by adding 4 inches to the middle section.  The sleeves were difficult & the pattern instructions made no sense to me.  So I made them without the lining & then it came together easy.  I think maybe I cut out the sleeves wrong.  Her favorite part of this dress is the sleeves!

I like how the back drapes with this sequin fabric.

On the front bodice I had to add another panel because I cut out a size 12 according to her measurements & it was way too big.

With the left overs of this expensive fabric I made myself a bias cut skirt from my own pattern.  Sadly I did not finish her dress for New Years but recently we have both been invited to a local Fashion Show so we get to wear our outfits then.

Sew you later!
