Maxi it is! McCalls 6700

I'm on the Maxi dress bandwagon.  I have always loved them, but I had convinced myself that my 5'1" frame was a little short and I looked dumpy in a Maxi.  I actually love the way this one fits and even more than that I love the color and how easy it was to construct.  I will be making this again, or another Maxi, as I am now officially a Maxinista!

Custom Ordered Bag: Houndstooth Purse.

My client loves it . I like it, but no, I don't love it all.  I feel I rushed it, but if she likes it that's fine with me.  My felt flowers are always a big hit, because the colors are so vibrant and can be used with almost anything.  A Jacket, Purse, even on Shoes.

 
The Flowers are actually pins.
