McCall's 6796..... Last Project of 2014

Happy 2015 folks and yes another McCall's....this time M6797  top pattern was made into a dress. I scored the sweater knit fabric from my local Fabricland and knew right there it was destined for a dress. The dress was made in approximately 2.5hrs  morning of Dec.31 and made it my official last project of 2014......

These few alterations were made to the pattern
Modifications Made
1. Cut size 14, lengthened to dress length and tapped from hip to hemline
2. Omitted the buttons on the collar
3. Interfaced the sleeve and dress hem with fusible interface
4. Added a belt
 Conclusion:
No dislike at all as this dress kept me warm throughout the day and  I will make it my TNT sweater dress pattern. Flattering, easy and quick what not to love?
 Happy Sewing !!!

McCall's 6992.....

Fall wardrobe staple, another great pattern from McCall's. I love the simplicity of this pattern and how fast it took to pull together.  I spent approximately 2 hours to complete including cutting and sewing time so a big plus in my book.
I used a sweater knit fabric that has been in my stash for ages. I think I did a good job with the placement of the fabric due to fabric shortage (I had about a meter) but importantly I wanted to make sure the white diamonds are not on the girls.....so a pat on the back for me....

 Modification made to the pattern:

1. Added 1-inch to the  bodice
2. Removed about 1.5-inch from each side of the sleeve from arm-hole to sleeve-band ( The sleeve had too much ease for my liking it might be due to my fabric choice but can't tell for sure until I try another fabric)
Please pardon my picture quality again, my better camera is back now so  I will try to take and post better pictures again.....

Enjoy the countdown to Xmas, and  have a wonderful and a happy Holidays....
