My life was traveling down Easy Lane until all of a sudden, I got drawn down Busy Street, onto Hectic Highway. I've been traveling down the hectic highway for a few weeks now, but I have found some sewing rest areas along the way. Here are a few of the items I've sewn over the last few weeks:
Vogue 1250 Sew Simple A1638
and
M6752
I am not able to add my pictures to the Sew your Own Wardrobe Challenge, so if anyone can post my pictures, I do appreciate it. Happy Sewing as we travel down life's highway!
Pretty garments and you picked the perfect prints.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sheila
DeleteGreat dresses and top Melanie. Love them. I have posted them for you on the challenge website. I am interested what you find better - the Vogue or the McCalls as they look similar. How do they sew and fit compared to each other?
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot BeaJay, your a Godsend. I actually like the McCall as far as the fit for me. Because of my build, the McCalls is more figure flattering. They were both easy to make, but the McCalls I think is a few steps quicker even though the Vogue is only two pieces. I actually love them both and can see myself making both of them again.
Deleteoh my gosh I love how you opened your post lol! that is so me this past week & the next two to come, my daugher left last week to get their little boy they adopted from China & we've been skyping each other on the computer lol! & she's sending pictures on face book like crazy! plus I'm holding down the forth out of town with the grand kids for another two weeks, once you got to that sewing rest stop you were on a roll! great job! I hope I come to one of those rest stops soon! lol!

Congrats on the new addition to your family. I can't even imagine how excited you guys are. I know life can be so hectic, but you sound like you got it down to a science. Please share with us some pictures of the family and the new baby!
DeleteLove all of your beautiful new items. Isn't Vogue 1250 the best pattern ever! Happy Stitching.
ReplyDeleteThanks Regina. Yes, I love the Vogue 1250. It was on my project list for a long time. I am so glad I finally got to it, super simple.
DeleteThese are lovely tops - I am not sure how you managed to make them while on hectic highway - that's when I always muck sewing up :) Well done
ReplyDeleteSarah, thanks so much. I don't know how I manage sometime. Sewing is the only thing that relaxes me.
DeleteWow, you made some lovely pieces. So bright, just love the colors and patterns.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rhonda. Still trying to catch up with you my dear. Love your work.
DeleteVery nice pieces! I love them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks Candice. How are you and the baby doing?
DeleteGorgeous, simply gorgeous Darling! I love the brightness of the colors you used and your garments are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Faye.
DeleteVery nice makes! And I *LOVE* that Sew Simple top. That little pattern line really produces some simple but sweet little garments.
ReplyDeleteHow do you like the fit of that M6752 dress?
Hi Mrs. Smith. Thanks for the compliments and for stopping by. I actually love the M6752. I am thinking about using it for a maxi dress as well. So stay tuned.
DeleteWhat progress! These are fantastic!
