I Sew, I Knit.

With the help of ;my coworker, Mrs. Sonia Santiago Marero, who graciously snap these pictures for me. I am able to share with you today one my creations. Thank you Sonia! My favorite pattern is making an appearance again, McCalls 6994 .  This time in View C, which stitches up quickly and wear beautiful too. This is a straight forward skirt that fits like any great A line skirt should.  I made it in a knit that I had in my stash. Not sure what I was going to make with it the first time around so it must of been destined to become this skirt. As you can see, I love the fit. I didn't make it any adjustments at all. Sewed it in the envelope's Size L with is equivalent to Size 16-18. This is a great pattern to have in your stash if you don't already. It's one of those items that cam be sewed all year around. So there will be a few more planned for the fall. Enjoy the rest of the week! Knitting and Sewing and loving everything about it.

I love this dress!! It's easy to sew, comes together beautiful. So yes, I will brag on myself, I look soooo C-U-T-E in this.  I have coveted this pattern for awhile and every time I went to purchase it, it was never in the bin. Then I finally had it in my hands and it was meant to be. My favorite dress for the summer hands down.                                                                                 @McCalls.com McCall's 6959 is one pattern that is a winner. You can never go wrong with a wrap dress and this one being sewn in a woven fabric is a must have. The sizes range from Misses sizes 6-22 and I stitched this up in size 18.  This was my first time working with bias tape so this was going to be fun. I have a great bias tape pressure foot that made testi...
