Mccall 6069 + Simplicity 1606 = Lovely dress

I made M6069 view A in 2010 here

For this version, the bodice is made from view C back and view A front while the skirt is from S1606. I interfaced the neck back for stability before sewing to the front bodice. The fit is superb and the style oh so flattering, I will take my pics when my photographer has time, but for now this is all I got. Please enjoy!!!!!  Have a lovely week.....

Pants sewing with the Pro

My new pants using techniques I learned from the Pro - Gentleman Jim of fine tailoring. His YouTube tutorial on how to add waistband, band-roll and clamp hook and eyes to trousers came in handy for these pants. I used my TNT Kwiksew 3625 pattern, the only thing I did differently was to reduce the leg width by 2" tapering  from hem to knee for a straight look. I wore the pants all day today with no band rolling or out of place, thank you gentleman Jim for the great tutorial. The pants were paired with the peplum top from previous post, and what a great combination...
Additional photos after the cut, the wrinkles were due to all day wear......

Enjoy!!!!

Newlook 6130 with Sleeves...............For Fall

I didn't think one will be enough wink...this one is fall ready. In this version, I used plain sweater knit with a little stretch, I scooped the front neck by I", I didn't add zipper because the neck is wide enough for my big head,  I interfaced the neck, sleeve and hem for stability .... I really, really love this style....lol  and really rocking it, I might be making one more...who knows.

                                                                           

What do you think????? do you see one more in the future???? Have a great week fellas.
