Three for one!

I think I said this before but I am not a blogger!  I find it so very hard to write up a post that I think is interesting. So from now on I will just stick to the basics.

I have three finished project to show.

1.  Butterick 5206.

I started this in January. I finished it in January but it was huge.  In February I took it apart and there it sat until last week.  I used "vegan leather" for the sleeves and contrast and an ITY Jersey. I under lined the bodice and used a triple stretch stitch which is why I procrastinated about taking it apart.

2. McCall's 6553.



 I started this in early February. I wanted to wear it for my birthday but did not finish it in time. I used a wool blend of some sort from Gaffney's here in Philly.

3.This is a self drafted cape following a tutorial by Mimi g.

I am just getting started on my daughter's senior prom dress.


Love and blessing,

Happy New Year!... first completed top of 2014!

Just completed M6794.

I used stash satin with pleather (vegan leather, love the PC term) accents.

I was going to add leather sleeves, but I wanted to keep things simple.. My only dislike is that the neckline does not lay as I had envisioned.

I used my new Singer One Plus sewing machine and the top is pictured on my new dress form(CHRISTmas presents from the hubs and kids)

Next I am working on a faux wrap dress with leather sleeves and trim.

Love and Blessings,
Dawn
