I've had some success with my garment sewing over
the last couple of weeks, and some failures too!
The cotton lawn kimono-type nightie was too big in the
bust area so that will be moved out...
The pink fabric I hope to make in a dress was narrow so
has gone back into the stash.
The dress shown in this pattern wasn't without its
issues either.
I emailed McCall USA but I'm not sure they appreciated
my interference!
Well, they never said thank you anyway!
I decided to put sleeves in rather than wait for an
answer from them.
The dress has plenty of 'ease'.
Do you think that, in fashion terms,
means it's going to be too big?
Anyway, I may wear it about and see how it feels.
The second success was the Lisette 2245 blouse that
I have made numerous times.
It fits nicely and is very cool on a hot day like today!
I've cut out the Melody tunic in the green check BUT....
I'm thinking it might be time to bite the bullet
and baste a quilt.
I feel like doing some quilting!
Happy sewing!
