Vogue 8679- Top for Judy

Made this Vogue 8679 top for Judy for work. Not sure if she'll like it but Sharon likes it so it will have a home. It was quick and easy and I was pleased with it. I added 1" length in the body and 3" to the bottom. I'll add a picture of Judy in it if I see her anytime soon.

I used the coverstitch for neck, sleeves and hem. I use steam a seam lite first then coverstitch hems. It works so nice. And a picture of Huckleberry just for good measure.

Vogue 8724 Custom Fit Cups- for Megan

I made Vogue 8724 for my daughter Megan. Whom I usually have to do a FBA for. I used this pattern with the D cup and only a minor pattern adjustment to the neckline that I do to all of Megan's patterns. She always has gaps at the neckline. I use the french curve to mark the neckline then foldover a 1/4". I use to just fold in a little pleat in the pattern but this works much better and lies smoothly. This dress went together quickly and fit her perfectly. This will become a TNT for Megan. She loves this style and often buys this style dress. I had a bunch of fabric left so made this matching romper for Sophie June. I couldn't find a pattern that was what I wanted so I just took a vintage romper pattern and used the general shape and changed it at the top. The picture of Megan in the dress are before I hemmed it and finished the neckline. I used my coverstitch machine to hem it. I took two inches out of the length but it was still long. Mr. Finnegan wanted in on the photo shoot. He's six monthes old this coming week. He's a really playful fun kitten.

This is New Look 6917 view E in a tropical light weight wool blend from fabric.com a year or so ago. It was a a perfect fit right out of the envelope. I just love sewing for sharon she fits patterns perfect. She's 5'6" with a B/C cup and proportioned perfectly for patterns. Love it. Sorry the pics of the skirt on dress form are not ironed my son in law broke my ironning board and I hadn't replaced it yet.

McCalls 6049 Apron for Hailey

My granddaughter Hailey walked in the door this weekend and told me she needed a apron because Mommy had one and she didn't. So she picked this pattern and this adorable Michael Miller Mermaid fabric I've had in the stash for a couple of years. I just recently got the green pin dot from fabric.com. I added a large pocket to the front because little girls always have lots of things to put in pockets. She was so pleased with it and even wanted to take the scraps of fabric home with her. She is so cute. This is McCalls 6049.

My Chirstmas Kitty- Mr. Finnegan

Look at my new baby chocolate siamese kitten. My whole family and my brothers family went together and got me Mr. Finnegan because we lost my little Miss Kitty from kidney disease. We had her for almost 12 years and adopted her as an adult. I usually wait months to replace an animal but having this new kitten a few weeks after losing Miss Kitty was actually very helpful with missing her. He's so fun to watch. He plays/annoys Huckleberry all the time. But he really was missing Miss Kitty so the new kitten helped Huckleberry too. The last picture is of Miss Kitty.
