jumpsuit McCall's 7302

Happy monday, I hope everyone is stay safe.Since I have no plans on going to the store to buy fabric or patterns  Im just using the ones I already have I came across @McCall's#7203 I said what can go wrong with a jumpsuit  It's a loose-fitting jumpsuit with elastic, drop waist blouson bodice with front pleats and back gathered into self lined  and

button front. I made view B in a size 14. To my surprise it another favorite.

I use some twill fabric that I got at my local fabric stores. This pattern calls for challis or crepe fabric .just image if you can made this in a   romper with some yummy bright linen for  the summer.To my surprise is another favorite of mine its  so comfortable. It can  be easily dress up or dress downThe drop waist takes a while to get use to..It was my first time making button hole they're  not perfect but I manage to pull it off I pair this jumpsuit wth my @blowfish sneakers .I will be making this again soon.

Hi Everyone, I know most of you are on sewlacation so we're going to see Some beautiful makes. As for I'm one of those "essential worker"So I'm still in the danger zone any way I manage to make one of my favorite dress so far using @McCall's#7778.

This pattern has many options dresses, romper and jumper have close-fitting, Interfaced bodice, Invisible zipper and gathered skirt or pants with length variations.I cut a size 14 and I did view A.I add about 4 inches to the length. The fabric I had in my stash for a while This is my second dress using this yummy cotton from my local fabric store in Queens, NY. This was an easy sew and I will be making this pattern again.

Here a look on the first dress I made with this fabric.

camouflage Pelpum Top

Hi everyone,I hope y'all having a great March , the month are moving  by so fast.Any way I want to talk to you about my camouflage  peplum Top this is my second time using this pattern .   The pattern is Butterick B6096 semi-fitted,pullover top with princess seams, sleeve variations and narrow hem.I made a size 14 and did view D.The instructions was easy to follow.I was attracted to the shaped hemlines and how the long the peplum was  you can easily make it into a skater skirt.

The fabric I use is a double knit I got a my local fabric store.The only dislikes about this pattern is the neck finishing but you can add bias tape  cut from the same fabric, I just serge my neckline and fold over..I took in  the sleeves about an inch because it  felt a little big.

I would sew it again in the summer without the sleeves.I definitely recommend it to others.

Happy sewing !!

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!😀👉❤
