Navy blue Dress using McCall's 7106
Happy Friday everyone, It's been a while since my last post I've been a little busy sewing quilts.The Dress I made today is McCall's 7016 it is a semi fitted, pullover dress. The fabric I use was a Double knit that I found in a bin for $1.99 at my local fabric store.I modified my dress a little just my cutting the back and the front on the fold and then made a scope neckline in the front because I didn't want the collar, that is the only changes I made. I really enjoy making this dress it sew up really quick.It is a great dress for beginners.Happy sewing!!
