My Daughter's Jacket

The jacket is McCalls 5481. I am almost done and will have photos to share over the weekend of the completed project. She's making pants from a different pattern. (She said she hasn't started on the pants and wants to wear this outfit tomorrow night!)

Later...

A Couple of Photos

Here are two finished outfits on the 'real me' LOL Anyway, like I said in the previous post, that print top was very comfortable. The slacks are from M5597 The skirt & blouse was made several weeks ago. The skirt is M5523, the blouse is a OOP Vogue pattern. I'll have to get better with my timer on the camera and pick another site in the house that I can place the camera so my head won't be cut off! LOL

Vogue Patterns

Vogue Patterns 1048 and 8491 are on my list for my next purchase. I already have fabric for 8491 in my collection awaiting the perfect pattern and I think that would be it!

A Few More Projects to Finish Up!

In addition to my attempts to complete two of my projects below, I also have agreed to make a jacket for my daughter using fabric that is like mine, the white on the left (she purchased some too) She has an event this weekend for work. She's making the pants out of a solid white. How did I get into this! LOL














Hopefully, I'll finish these two pieces this week. The animal print is for a blouse, which partially done and the solid below is a skirt that's complete except for the hem.











My sewing goals for this week: complete the blouse & skirt and make the jacket for my daughter. I'll keep you posted!

New Look 6702

This was a quick top to make. I started approximately 12:10 p.m. and was finished by 1:35 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Wore it to two birthday parties with brown slacks. I will post a picture of me in the outfit later.
I chose View A with the long sleeves. The pattern only had four pieces for this view, which was a plus to me. At first, the twist for the bodice was a bit tricky. I thought this would have to be set aside because of time constraints yesterday. But all came out well and it was very comfortable to wear.
