And a sleeveless version in a cream. I also made a self-drafted tulle skirt for my daughter.this wasn't stash fabric. Labels: Breast cancer awareness.

Sunday, March 15, 2015. Butterick 5950, McCall's 6884 or McCall's 6886 were all good choices for the fabric I purchased from JoAnn's when I fell off my. Lol, decision-decisions.

Sewlove2linedance: November 2015
http://sewlove2linedance.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 29, 2015. Just Skirting Around with Simplicity and Tulle. A couple of months ago, I was in the neighborhood of JoAnn's Fabric so I stopped by. While there, I met a fellow sew-ist, Christine Paul. She's a great seamstress, I had a blast talking to her, but she's an enabler, and it's her fault that I fell off my fabric diet, again. What was I supposed to do when she handed me her extra coupons? I couldn't let them go to waste. LOL. With a self drafted tulle skirt for my FDIL. She paire...

http://sewlove2linedance.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 5, 2015. 4th of July Fashion. I wore Butterick 6206 to a family reunion dinner this weekend. The pattern is a pullover dress with close-fitting bodice variations, elasticized waist, and narrow hem. The dress looked just like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope. There were only four pattern pieces to this dress. The instructions were very easy to follow, even though I didn't need them. I made this dress in the morning and wore that evening. Labels: 4th of July fashion. I joined the PR F...

Sewlove2linedance: Happy New Year!
http://sewlove2linedance.blogspot.com/2016/01/happy-new-year.html
Friday, January 8, 2016. I ended 2015 with another self drafted tutu for my daughter. I underlined the skirt with faux-leather knit and added several layers of mesh to make it "big". Fast forward a couple of days. I started my new year with Simplicity 1276. I used stash Scuba Knit and Ponte Knit in the construction of this dress. I didn't like the shiny side of the Scuba knit against the dull Ponte so I cut it inside out and I love it! I continued the color-blocking effect with a blue zipper.
