A Vogue 8552 dress

A Vogue dress.....& yes it is very easy!

I like the pleats in this pattern, front & back

but is was the big pockets that

first interested me about this pattern.

I did misplace the sleeve part of this pattern,

this is the 2nd pattern I have done this.

So I picked this Simplicity that

look similar, & used that.

I made it in a size 12.

70's Jumpsuit

I have been wanting a jumpsuit for awhile now

& I finally had some time to make one.

I used McCall's 6083 & it was an easy pattern to follow.

This silk jersey was a dream to sew up.

I was actually a little nervous to cut 

into this fabric....a bit more expensive

than my bottom of the bin bargain

fabrics I usually buy.

The only adjustment I had problems with

was the bodice cross over....it keeps gapping,

but an easy fix.

I made version E bodice with version B crop pants.

Sew you later!


P.S.  don't mind the dying mandarin orange tree.....I live in Vancouver not Portugal!

Blackness

Almost done......

The Stripe Dress

This dress I just made in time to wear at

the end of summer.

As you can see it is totally my own

design.....I draped & pinned & sewed.

Both my machines were used on this heavy knit cotton

material found in the bargain bin.

The back of the dress was kinda of the modern bustle I was 

designing or just pinned together as Mini-me said!

Sew you later!

Fashion Friday......past projects

Hello friends, 

I got a new laptop & while I was transfering photos, 

I found so many past sewing projects that I never posted!

This top iMade using New Look 6149 pattern

with contrasting fabric.  My Metropolitan fabric for the bodice

& black jersey for the sleeves.

I liked this pattern so much I made a few 

other tops as well that I will save for another post.

This top is now a couple years old & I still wear it.

This was an easy pattern to follow & now I might 

make it into a dress too!

Sew you later!
