I Sew, I Knit.

Yes indeed, this is the dress I am working on today and it is easy. It really easy!! The skirt is made up of 2 circles cut on the fold, 1 back piece cut on the fold and 1 front piece cut on the fold (it suppose to be cut 2, but why? for shaping?) and 1 piece for the tie belt. It a pullover dress and you can't beat that. Here is the link of for more info of the dress that will become a fall favorite for me. I chose a this  ITY knit fabric from Fabric Mart during one of the email notification and didn't go overboard at all. I'm still stashing busting but I could pass this fabric up at the great price they were offering. Isn't that how we get in trouble, lol! Sooo I am going to get me sewing on. I will back back to share the end results and to share the pants I sewed up yesterday. Yes, you read that correctly. I made three pair of pants from my favorite McCall's 6901 pants pattern. I went down a size and they still turn out perfect every time.

As I ventured back into sewing and lurking so many peoples blogs I stumbled across The Curvy Sewing Collective. What a wonderful group of ladies to covet! They have open my eyes up to so many different indy companies it just blows my mind. There is so much positivity going on regarding sewing and fitting your curves that do not fit the "standards" set by the fashion industry. Everyone loves a great fit and to really get you inspired they hosted their first sew along featuring the classic wrap dress! So how can I not participate?! I know with a wrap dress it's would be a no brainer.  Fabric, check. Pattern, check, Thread, check. Jersey Point needle, check. I chose Vogue 8379 wrap dress. This really is a true wrap dress and I love it. I sewed View A in a ITY knit that I purchase from Fabric Mart and it has a really nice drape. It stitch it up in a Size 18 and it stitched up beautifully. I was able to get my pictures posted today. Here it is..... I lov...
