Judy's Romper- McCalls 6083

This is McCalls 6083 Romper I made for Judy for the July 4th weekend. I added 3" to length of top for Long Tall Judy's length and to add additional blousing per Judy's request. I also added 3/4" to length between waist and hips. I did the top different I added contrast and turned to front and used that for casing. The material is cotton shirting from Joanns last year and the plaid is from who knows where and when. She likes it and so did my niece and she wants one now. I would recommend this fun and easy pattern.

Kwik Sew 3593 Teacher Clothes for Judy

This makes up pretty quick. Made the neckline an extra small and the rest a small. It runs pretty loose so took a little out of the waist to give it a little shape. She'll wear it with a belt. Used a poly knit from fabric.com I bought a long time ago. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures with that busy print but the back isn't gathered, only the front. I like that they didn't add extra fabric in the back like some shirts like this one. I have this cut out in the tunic in red with longer sleeves for the fall.

Lots of finished dresses on Mothers Day

Got all the girls dresses finished for Mothers Day celebration. Judy is in a mixture of Kwik Sew 3758 and an old Gap T-shirt that was to short for Long Tall Judy. She had wanted one of these dresses since they came out last year but couldn't find one that wasn't to short. She loves it. I made the skirt per the pattern and took a pen and marked on the t-shirt where I wanted the skirt to be and just sewed the elastic to the shirt in lieu of making a t-shirt per the pattern instructions.Here's pictures of Sharon and Liz in thier finished dresses. Lucked out they loved them to. Now I need to make Megan a new dress she's feeling left out. Had a wonderful Mother's Day dinner that everyone brought something for. Yummy and I didn't have to do anything. Perfect Day.

Judy's Little Black Dress -Kwik Sew 3778 Number 2

This is the one shoulder version of Kwik Sew 3778. I used some black knit that I think is ottomen knit. It's very soft, medium weight with a ton of stretch and it's got a ribbed like look similar to corduroy. She'll wear it with a belt. It only took about an hour from start to finish to make this dress. The changes I made were to add length for long tall Judy and additional 1" to front to help cover her bust -a quick and easy FBA. A picture of Huckleberry with some new fabrics I got from fabric.com.

New Look 6936 Judy's Easter Dress

Judy told me she needed a new Easter dress last night at about 8PM which is to close to bedtime for me to start a dress. So got up and cut out and made this simple dress for her to wear to Easter Mass this morning. The fabric is a rayon knit from fabric.com. This was a very easy quick dress but she loves it and was well pleased. I'll make this and the other view for her again. It was so quick and will be great for our hot Texas summers.
Here's a picture of my finished top. It's not a perfect fit but I like and it and think I'll wear it.
Hope everyone is enjoying family and friends today.
