I’m writing this as I try to decide on my next project. I did just complete a very simple dress (New Look 6602). Although, this did take a little longer than anticipated since the fabric was thinner than I thought, so I had to line the dress. But I want to do something different. I’m just not sure what. I have so many patterns and so much material that I just need to go for it! Pick something and get started! I’m still determined to work my way through a lot of the fabric stash I have. But sometimes I look at a piece of material and try to think of the “perfect” or best use for it. As a result, it sits. I’m sure I’m not the only person that has dealt with this. Anyway, here’s a picture of my completed project.
Quick project…
I completed a quick project recently while I’m working on completing a dress I’m making. This skirt used to be a maxi dress that I never wore and really didn’t like. But, I liked the material. So I got the scissors and cut off the top part and, cut out the elastic, and remade the casing from the top. I didn’t do anything to the bottom of the skirt since it was already hemmed. Very simple.
I hope to have the dress I’m making completed soon. I took a break the other day and never got back to sewing. Then I’ll have to plan some other pieces (tops).
Have a great weekend everyone!

I love simple, easy summer dresses and this is definitely one of those. I made this in View D except I omitted the ribbon that goes around the bottom band. I made this from some cotton blend fabric that I had in my stash. This took about 3 hours to actually put together, so it was quite easy and straightforward. The only alterations I made was to taper the hip down to the pattern size 14 and to lengthen the dress by 1 1/2 inches. This is something that I can definitely see making again for the summer. It has a classic shape and styling and can be made in a variety of materials.
