Last Week's Sewing Round Up

Here is a compilation of what I have worked on in between client projects and my home life maintenance:

Simplicity 1358 is a cute little Rayon Jersey Knit Hi-lo Tank Dress that I made for myself.  I do not wear many dresses and I am trying to incorporate dresses into my wardrobe as a stable.  I saw this pattern and thought about the fabric in my stash, I thought what a lovely, springy dress this could be:

Simplicity 1355 made for my client.  She is loves orange just as much as I do.  This fabric was in my stash as well.  I think I got it from Joann's and immediately when she saw it, she begged for it.  I don't often offer up my stash fabric, as it is my special little something I do for myself, but I did agree to share with her since I had more than enough yardage to use for myself.  Won't happen often:

McCalls 6848,  Low Bank Tank Dress/Romber.  I was introduced to this pattern by Mimistyle.  She did an excellent free tutorial using this pattern with instructions of modify it from a short romper to a dress for her collaboration DIY with Michael Levine.  This too was client make, and she was very happy with it.  Though I cringe at the thought of matching up patterns, I especially hate matching up chevrons, and I shared my dislike with her.  She was fine with it:   

Simplicity 1368, the Circle Skirt with an Elastic Waistband.  This is the last of the client sewing this past week.  This is cotton fabric and as simple as can be.  I made the the top out of the fabric scraps.  She was so pleased: 

Happy Sewing.
