For me

By now I have done several costumes, a few bow ties, dresses for my girls and alteration for everyone it seemed. So upon finding this Cheveron print jersey, I knew one thing - this would be used for me. I also knew that it was going to be long.. like, hem on the ankles long... and so I started. Using pattern NL6123 view A as a guide, I added 18" to the length and drafted the skirt to flare. I love the way it turned out, it has become a instant favorite.
         

                     

New York, pt.2

While at Mood, my other darling daughter (I have two ;-) chose a nice teal colored fabric. To know this girl, is to know that she would pick the color teal since teal plays a major role in the life. Hence her room, clothes, and makeup pallet consist of the green family, or is it the blue family.. huh...

Anywho.. Teal is what she got. She chose a pattern she felt resembled a "vintage" dress, Butterick 5919. What do you think?

New York

Being a native new yorker has its benefits.. One being the City itself. Its so easy to hop on the train and head to the city that never sleeps, the concrete jungle... the garment district... AHHH.... and within the city, one of my favorites.. Mood Fabrics. With patterns in hand, that's exactly where my daughters and I headed to find some fabric for their desired dresses. My oldest wanted a simple maxi, but she chose a print a little on the strange side making matching the side seams somewhat difficult.
I used McCalls 6744, viewA, and added 12"to the length of the skirt.

And of course, New York, New York.
