I have stated that 2012 would be the Year of the Dress for my sewing projects. Well, here is my first project and it is a dress. Of course the first project and dress is for Jocasta! (LOL) I have promised Jocasta a strapless dress for sometime now. This summer I found the fabric for this dress and thought it would made a great poolside party dress. Oh, it is winter right now! Anyway, she will have it in her closet when needed.
Dress
Pattern - McCall’s 6349, View A
Fabric - 1 7/8 yards Hawaiian Floral Print Fabric (I cannot remember were I brought this fabric!), 2 3/8 yards of Lining
Notions - One 14 Inch Zipper, One Hook and Eye, 1 ¾ yards of ¼ Inch Covered Boning
This dress is close-fitting, therefore; you must take care fitting it to the bust and upper chest. Jocasta was home for Christmas and I make fitting adjustments to the bodice. The bodice is boned and underlined. The whole dress is lined. McCall’s lists this pattern as “Easy!” (LOL) Seriously it is a great pattern to introduce yourself to underlining and boning.
Conclusion
Jocasta stated she loved it during the construction stage. So summer hurry up so she can wear it!
Cute dress and the colors are AWESOME!

ReplyDeletePractice is the key to success if you want to learn how to sew. Practice makes perfect. Start doing projects like pillow cases, bed sheets and other items that need simple sewing. These projects can also teach you the basics of sewing that is pattern making and taking measurements. These will serve as your training ground. It is a stepping stone that you must take in order to be successful in learning how to sew properly.
