What is there to say that hasn’t already be said about McCalls 6886? If you are a knit fan you have undoubtedly used the pattern for a simple sheath pullover dress. If you haven’t, you need to! I’m pretty sure McCalls will never stop producing this pattern. I HAS to be on the top 10 best…

Happy Monday! I am recommitting to my goal of sewing and posting two garments per week. Originally the challenging part was taking good photos (ie not bathroom selfies) as I depend on others to take my photos.

After sewing up views A and B of this pattern I knew View D was next. I scored this great on trend Aztec stripe jersey knit at my favorite local store. It was a $4.99 for 3 yards! (It had to be 4 yards because I still have 2 yards left.) That’s $4.99 for two…

Ever since I sewed up my leopard print version of this dress I knew I would sew it again and again. This is a pattern I desperately searched for as it was OOP by the time I “discovered” it. Thankfully one of my amazing sewsistas had this pattern in her stash and gifted me with…

Although I have certainly had some #FAILS I’m proud of what I have been able to accomplish in just about a year of sewing. I’ve made dresses, skirts, tops, pants, followed patterns, self drafted, remade RTW items, installed zippers, learned to serge, done a blind hem and more. Still I want to continue to learn…
