McCalls 6109- Liz's new dress







Sorry the pictures are so awful but here's McCalls 6109 dress for Liz. I had to shorten the top and take an inch out of each side seam. Not sure if it just runs big or if that was design ease. But looked much better taken up. These pictures of dress on Judy before I took it up and hemmed it for Liz. Judy's 5'10" and Liz is 5'4" so had to shorten it also. It's a quick dress if I didn't have to take it apart to resize. I don't like that the neckline isn't finished but on it looks cute. Also some pictures of the pj's (Kwik Sew pattern)I made for William and Dylan plus undies for Jacob.

Judy's Romper- McCalls 6083




This is McCalls 6083 Romper I made for Judy for the July 4th weekend. I added 3" to length of top for Long Tall Judy's length and to add additional blousing per Judy's request. I also added 3/4" to length between waist and hips. I did the top different I added contrast and turned to front and used that for casing. The material is cotton shirting from Joanns last year and the plaid is from who knows where and when. She likes it and so did my niece and she wants one now. I would recommend this fun and easy pattern.
