• Bold Striped Duster: Simplicity 8546

  

  I love the style of shirtdresses, but I very rarely wear them. For one they are usually made with cotton fabric and I hate to iron (which is one of the reasons I love to sew with knits). Also since I’ve started sewing they’ve just seemed like to much work to make…collars, cuffs, buttons and […]

• My Version of the Infamous Go-To Dress – McCalls 6886

It is also a popular pattern in some of the Facebook sewing groups that I am in. I think the popularity is […]
