McCalls 6109- Liz's new dress

Sorry the pictures are so awful but here's McCalls 6109 dress for Liz. I had to shorten the top and take an inch out of each side seam. Not sure if it just runs big or if that was design ease. But looked much better taken up. These pictures of dress on Judy before I took it up and hemmed it for Liz. Judy's 5'10" and Liz is 5'4" so had to shorten it also. It's a quick dress if I didn't have to take it apart to resize. I don't like that the neckline isn't finished but on it looks cute. Also some pictures of the pj's (Kwik Sew pattern)I made for William and Dylan plus undies for Jacob.

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.

Liz Summer Dress -Kwik Sew 3778

Just another quick and easy summer dress for daughter in law Liz. This went together very fast. I added a self fabric belt because it just needed something. I used my coverstitch machine for hem. Used clear elastic at armholes because this fabric was so soft it needed something to beef it up before I turned it under and topstitched it. I also topstitched the neckband to keep the seam allowences from popping out. Fabric is from Fabric Mart. I believe it was a rayon knit. Here's a picture of Megan and Sophie all tuckered out from taking an hour long walk and then playing with the cousins. Sophie looks like a little angel sleeping on top of Mommie.
