    Sew the right sides together!

    It is lovely seeing the hot weather come, even if a day of showers is thrown in every now and again!  Guess that is why everything is so green here!  Oh, haha, speaking of “green”… Let me show you my “May Monthly Stitch” knit top.  I broke the rules with this one.  Shame.  I used…

    I have the right to change my mind…

    Don’t I? I love this fabric, so soft and light and silky (ITY knit – polyester/Lycra).  I thought I should make this lovely summer dress – McCall’s M6922.  I traced the pieces for the short sleeve version of the dress and cut out my fabric.   I very easily sewed together the eight panels with…
