Fashion Star

The only way I will ever be a Fashion Star is sew this maxi dress from the McCall's 6700 pattern.

a truly easy pattern to sew & I fell in love with the fabric so I had to sew it right away Merche, lol!

I was own my own for photographs today & my remote for my dslr needed a new battery so these photos are not the best.

The bodice I sewed at night & only realized the next day when I went to iron that I did not set the tension properly for this fabric....so puckering & a mess :(
This fabric also frays a lot so unpicking my stitches not an option.

I bought the last 2.5 meters of this sold out fabric so I am wondering how to fix this....any ideas?

The skirt pieces of this pattern were huge & the tie belt took a large part of the fabric but I love it.

The shoulder ties were the opposite, so small that I could not turn inside out......so I made a chain strap (leftovers from a purse project).  I sewed it on by hand.

Could not get any decent photos of the back but here & you can see the fraying.....

this was how most of my photos turned out today

Sew you later!

Make it Wear it

belle peasant dress....

I have been reading some old books & watching old movies lately & feeling whimsical so I made this dress.

I used McCall's 5050 pattern view E but made it a dress by adding 4 inches.  A little too short so I added the lace hem.

The raglan bell sleeves in this pattern is what caught my eye in the pattern $1.99 markdown bin.

This was supposed to be my toile using this inexpensive unknown fibers fabric, as I thought the pattern was complicated, but it was way easy!  

So now I can make this dress in some Silk fabric I have been coveting at the fabric store.
