Sunny Day to All,
This was a quick one. It took less than 2 hours to sew. I wanted a loose fitted, comfortable shirt since I was headed to my friend's house for a cookout. The fabric may look familiar for those of you who have been on my blog previously. I made this dress HERE with this fabric months ago and now since I had a yard and a half left, I decided to make a shirt with it. Why waist fabric? I used pattern McCall 6751 because I love the open back. I paired it with my Jessica Simpson Jeans, rose gold heels and jewelries for the pictures. Enjoy the pics!

This pattern is only 3 pieces. I am certainly going to make  a few of those for the summer as it is very easy to make and truly comfortable to wear. I cut size Medium because I didn't want it too tight. It took less than 2 hours. I did not make any alterations and this time I did view A version. I will be making the others too as they look as cute as this one.  Thanks for stopping by and Happy Sewing to you!

Sunny Day to All,
I was invited to a Black and Gold affair on Saturday night. I have plenty of black dresses in my closet however, I felt the need to sew something new. I had a double knit black fabric with sparkles in my stash and got a half  a yard of gold sequence fabric from G Street fabrics. I wanted to come up with something different so I used 2 different patterns McCall 6886 and McCall 7569.  I combined both patterns and added a custom shoulder design and there you go! I paired it with my Dereon gold sequence sandals and gold jewelries.  By the way, one may choose to wear this dress with no bra but since I am not heavy chested, I chose to wear a strapless black bra. LOL. Enjoy these few pics and let me know what you think of the outcome!

I used McCall 7569 for the top of the dress and connected it with McCall 6886 to make it a dress with no waistline seam. There were a few alterations. I added 2 darts in the back of the dress, added a side zipper, made the key hole smaller in the front and added 2 custom-made triangles/peplums on one shoulder. To blend it in, I used some double folded bias tape to border the sequence fabric. It toned it down and gave the dress that final designer look. I cut size 12 and it was a too big so I had to take it in on both side.  I enjoy playing with different patterns to come up with my final imaginary look. Happy Sewing to You!

Sunny Day to All,
April first was hubby's birthday and we made plans to go out that evening of Easter Sunday. The temperature was perfect. It was absolutely beautiful outside. I was trying to figure out what to make and a friend suggested a jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are definitely in right now. I have made two other jumpsuits that I previously featured on the blog. Please see my previous posts Here and Here. I recently went to GStreet Fabric in Rockville MD and bought a lot of fabrics so I didn't need to come out the house. I looked through my fabric collection and picked this bold one. Yes, it is very bold. I didn't use a pattern for this one. It was custom-made to my measurements. I paired this jumpsuit with my oversize silver earrings and my silver pump. Let's just say that I love the outcome! Enjoy these few pics!

I didn't use a particular pattern for this jumpsuit. I custom-made it to my measurements. It was very easy to make. I was able to prep, cut, and sew it all on Easter Sunday before I stepped out with hubby for his birthday. I chose to mix up 2 fabrics; this colorful polyester knit and a stripe cotton knit. That was pretty bold but I loved the combination of the 2 different fabrics. Proud of this one! Happy Sewing to you!
