Red'sThreads: May 2012
http://redsthreadz.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 8, 2012. Prom: Featuring Vogue 8360 and Simplicity 1908. I know its been way too long since the last time I posted on my blog but I've been. Lined dresses A, B, C have pleated inset, shoulder strap variations, hook and eye closure, skirt with gathers and invisible zipper. C: contrast inset, bodice overlay, overskirt and gathered shoulder straps. 6-10; the pattern runs slightly large so I cut the dress 1 size smaller than the pattern indicated for L’s bust size. I had no dislikes whatsoever!

Red'sThreads: McCall's 6650/Vogue 2029
http://redsthreadz.blogspot.com/2013/12/mccalls-6650vogue-2029.html
Tuesday, December 10, 2013. Loose-fitting, pullover blouse with button placket in back. There are various sleeve and neck treatments. I wanted the bow - but this pattern is a fabric hog and I didn't have enough! So I made View C, with long sleeves and button cuffs. Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Were the instructions easy to follow? What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:.
