Hello Everyone!
Last week I made this dress for my youngest daughter. Spring is just around the corner here in Australia and it is always nice with a new dress when the warmer weather arrives.
The pattern I used was McCall’s M6958, view C, with the cap sleeves and knee length hemline. As usual I made a few changes for a better fit. Read More
Hello Everyone!
I finished this dress for my youngest daughter last night. She told me some time ago that she wanted a dress with a lace pattern on the top half and denim on the bottom half. It is actually not denim but tencel which is a lot thinner and softer. Works well for a summer dress here.
I used two patterns: Newlook 6483 view D for the top half and Newlook 6843 view A for the bottom half.
I shortened the top quite a bit of course and added 1 1/2″ at the waist in the side seams on the skirt to make it fit with the bottom edge of the top. I also put in a 20″ zipper in the back.
As I have said before, I love it when the kids ask me to make things for them. This dress turned out great and she was happy too.
Until next time, happy sewing and take care!

Hello Everyone!
It is winter school holidays here in Australia so I haven’t done as much sewing as I usually do. My two youngest are in high school now and I like spending time with them. And they seem to like spending time with me.
