vogue 9253

Happy Monday  everyone, I hope all is well with you and I hope you had a wonderful  weekend.I had a great weekend  spend time fabric shopping.On today's post I want to share with you one of my all time favorite   summer dress vogue  9253.It's a semi-fitted dress with back zipper  opening, attach self tie and length variations.The fabric I found   at Joann for $5.99 @yard it super soft and It l
has  a little  stretch  to it. I pick it just for this pattern. I
 did view A and I cut a size large.

This was a easy  sew.The only changes I made was sewing up the front panel half way up instead  of having it all the way  down..  seems more particular  for me.I will be definitely  sewing  a few of these for the summer, maybe  the longer version   in a solid  color next.I really  recommend  this pattern.

I for

got  to take  the date off the camera..Lol I aways keep it to remember  the date  when I take pictures  for the kids..Happy sewing 😃

Mccalls 5400

I'ts memorial Day..Today is the day that's set aside to remember with gratitude  and pride all those  who served and died for our country and our freedom.

On today's post I want to share with you my d.iy swimwear and cover up.At first was afraid of posting pictures of me in swimwear but I said what the hell..if i go the beach people see me just the same.. So we went to the beach to watch the Air show

.My first swimwear  Mccalls 5400 it's a lined, halter tops have separate pattern piece different cup sizes. Below waist bottom and high cut legs.so I cut a size 16, which was way too big I did view E and H.I added four inches to the top and drop the legs one inch  down so it wasnt too high..  The cover up was super easy . I cut a size 16 also but i didnt have the sew in interfacing so i added a piece of lace to it.I definitely learn a few lessons  along the way use the required  swimwear fabric,the fabrics I use was some leftover 2 way stretch fabric that roll alotIt was a easy sew..I will be definitely making these again.

 had fun sewing this..Happy sewing😃💙

Black and white..Vogue9238

Happy Wednesday everyone, I hope your having a wonderful week so far?As for me I'm beaming with joy the summer is almost here..yea!!so I can get to wear a lot of my d.i.y's. I should have had this post up from monday but could find anyone to take my pictures or when I do it's raining. Anyways today post is vogue 9238  I did View B.. It's a close fittings dress have front and back shoulder flounce and cold details.

 I cut a size 12 it fit a bit big I could have gone with a size 10.The fabric I got a while back at @fabricdotcom it's a Liverpool knit very nice to sew with. The only problems  I had with this pattern is i got a U..instead of a V. I think i missed a step and my flounce was a bit short so I added a piece of fabric to it, I think its because the pattern called for 2way stretch and my fabric was one way.Lol.I am definitely planning on sewing this pattern again in a solid color.Thanks for stopping by and Happy sewing!😀👉❤

Simplicity 8332

Happy Friday everyone, I hope your week is

It's a hot day here in New York 80 degrees so I opt for my yellow gingham  off the shoulder dress I made a month ago .I figure off the shoulder is still part of the trend.I hope it will keep me cool. I made the dress using simplicity 8332  as my base..view C.The pattern has five different view which are easy to sew that can be sew in about2_3 hours.

Ok
.I slash and spread the sleeves for a bell sleeves and also add ruffles to the dress.This is the year for gingham I didn't know it would come back in style.I use to wear red gingham  to school for my uniform when I was in basic school (kindergarten)  growing up in Jamaica.The fabric I got at my local fabric store for $1:99 I got two yards.Happy sewing😀
