Sundress M5654


Project Detail:

Pattern: McCall 5654

Description: Sleeveless sundress with 2 inch wide straps over shoulders.

Pattern Sizing: 4-12, I did cut the size 12

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, it did!

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were very easy to follow did not take long to make at all.

Fabric Used: A Cotton, Black w/yellow and white / From Joann’s which I found on clearance for $4.00 per yard great deal could not pass that up.

I did pick a solid black for the straps.



What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It was okay. Something very simple to make

I will make it again.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I did not make any changes this time. Next time will need to bring the front down some it’s a little to high. But I really do like it.

Would you sew it again? Yes

Would you recommend it to others? Yes!!! Why not? It was simple and quick and by changing the type of fabric can give it a very classic look.

Lost Mojo

Well Ladies I was MIA and I had lost my MOJO for a while. I had to get some family things in order. For those who did not not know I have been out of work. I got laid off back in January of 2009. Its starts off okay you know like a vacation taken a break. Not having to get up and clean the snow off of the car stuff like that but after awhile you start to look at the calender and now you are fliping another month over and then another month and now its spring and then summer you start to worry a little. But with a lot of prayers, faith, and great love and support. I AM BACK!!!! Today was my first day and it feels great.

Now lets get to the good stuff. What's been going on????
