I'm so far behind. Still trying to review summer garments made for vacation. Well these are the last three. Then I can move on to more new projects.
Can you believe next week is Thanksgiving? Wow! I can't. Time is moving at warp speed. Christmas is around the corner. Don't blink. Lol
Now for the reviews:
My daughter asked for two dresses made using M6346
.
Pattern Description: MISSES' DRESSES IN TWO LENGTHS: Loose-fitting dress has elasticized neckline and sleeves.
Pattern Sizing: 8 - 22; I used size 10 with.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, it did. I made some slight changes.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Nothing difficult or confusing in the instructions. Very easy to sew.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? DD picked this one. The ruffled skirt of view C is her favorite. No dislikes.
Fabric Used: Fuschia gauze and yellow cotton blend from Vogue.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: No alterations. I eliminated the little tie at the neckline.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? No. twice is enough. But I do recommend it to others. It's a quick little summer dress.
Conclusion:
This is a quick and easy pattern to sew. It's great for casual summer wear.Pattern Description: MISSES' DRESSES IN TWO LENGTHS: Loose-fitting dress has elasticized neckline and sleeves.

Second, short review:
I decided to make M6083 again. This time view E. I used my gift fabric from Andrea and omitted the pockets and belt. I only make a crotch adjustment and lengthen the pants.
This print is definitely the speaker and the jumpsuit didn't need a lot of details to be noticed.
I wore it the day we were out and about in St. Kitts. It's was just as easy to make as the first. That's it for clothing made for my vacation.
Now back to fall/winter sewing. Upcoming reviews on a few things cut and ready to sew. And to help celebrate Thanksgiving and all the delicious food we all plan to cook, I will post my mom's recipe for Banana Pudding, one of my favorite desserts.
Happy Sewing!
