I have only lined up 3 dresses for Spring, because
a. I do not need a lot of new clothes
b. I want to be on time for my summer makes.
I will make 3 dresses. 1 is a transitional piece & the other 2 will be more warm weather ready. This year we are experiencing La Nina weather phenomenon, so we are not putting our coats away just yet. Here is the line-up.
1. Mood Sewciety Zenobia/Yarrow redux dress
2.Simplicity S9013
3.McCalls M7777
I am congratulating myself as I finished my winter wardrobe a month before the end of winter. I made 5 item including a hand knitted vest
I also love the cardigan which covers my toosh well. There is a sort fs peplum piece at the back which provides fullness. The pattern for the cardigan is McCall's M6996 view A.I will more versions of this cardi in patterned fabrics. I made size L.
I also made black velvet leggings using McCall's M7026 view E. I cut out the largest size, which was 22 according to my hip measurements. That was a mistake, the pants were too loose & I had to reduce them by 3 sizes to get the right fit. I employed the same method when I made a pair for my daughter.
The skirt is version B of McCall's M7022. This was my first experiment with plaids. This pattern harkens back to my childhood when my dad bought us tartan winter skirts. The skirt sits below the waist.
I enjoyed curating these pieces. Next are my spring pieces.
