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!!
