Mixed Prints
Hello again. I know I have been missing in action from posting but I have certainly been reading everyone's blogs. It has been a very busy time for me, quite a bit going on...won't bore you with the details...I have been hitting and missing when it comes to sewing, no real reason other than I just can't seem to get out of this funk. I finished the dress listed below about a month ago and really like it. I decided to do a pattern review for the first time. (yeah me). Here goes.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I have had this pattern since it was first released and was drawn to the various necklines on the pattern.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
The gold belt was added to enhance the gold in the fabric on the skirt. As always, Happy Sewing. Hope to post again soon and thanks for following.
Pattern
Description: McCall’s OOP 6319, fitted
dress with tapered skirt has lined bodice and elasticized waist.
Fabric
Used: Cotton and tricot for the
lining of the bodice. Fabric purchased at Joann’s Fabrics.
Pattern Sizing: (14-16-18-20-22)
Were the instructions easy to follow? I really did not use the instructions much, this dress sewed up quite quickly.

make.

March Sewing-Checking In
Hello All,
I have been tremendously busy and have been missing blogging. I am taking two History classes, teaching two 10 year olds how to sew, working and sewing as much as possible. Right now I am sewing some garments for a fashion show, hope to have pictures soon. I have been following all of my favorite blogs and commenting here and there.
Been busy reviewing the latest magazines, InStyle, Elle, Marie Claire and Harpers Bazaar to name a few and have seen so many interesting garments that I would like to make. I also changed my sewing room around. Purchased some shelving units to hold (some) of my fabric and it really opened up my small space and really ignited my sewing mojo as well. I hate that I did not take a before picture but the look of the space is very nice. I will have to take the picture and share it at another time. I just realized that I have not taken many pictures of the few garments that I have completed, just too busy.
Hoping it will slow down a little so that I can make some of the garments flowing in my brain at the moment.
As always, Happy Sewing!
