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????

Great Deal

Well I found this fabric and I got really excited about it. I am planning on making something for my DD "the 5 year old", I thought that B4765 of See & Sew would be great for this fabric that I found at Joann's in the clearance area it was $4.00 per yard. I could not pass this up. It is a cotton with 3% spandex so with some pull.

More on Garment District

My next stop was to Pacific Trimming
I did pick up a few things sew-on rhinestones, a couple of zippers for up coming projects
And pursue handles. I thought that their rhinestone was a bit on the high-end with cost. (I will explain why) 7 in. zipper was .50 cents each.

My next stop was to Rosen & Chadick Fabrics, I did pick up some fabric. I could not help myself.

I fell in love with this rich multi colors, which I thought would be great has a maxi dress.

“Big Ups” to David Chadick, which after speaking with him I found out he had attended a college in my area. So Bloggers, the customer service is great and great quality fabrics so stop by and introduce yourself A must stop by!!!

Next stop was B&J Fabrics, It’s on the high-end but again the fabric is great. I was able to find a lot of what I wanted but I did decide on a black and red on white and a tan and chocolate piece. A must stop by!!

Next stop was to Joyce Trimming, which I loved and the prices were the best compare to Pacific Trimming and a lot more choices. I did pick up more embellishments from here. I got some flat backs resin rhinestones. A must stop by!!!

And I ended my day with M&J Trimming which is great of course and have the same competitive prices as

Joyce Trimming so you can not loose with either one. A must stop by!!!

I want send a big thanks to Lindsay for her blog and the great information about the "Garment District".
