Two Red Dresses - Simplicity S1314 and McCall M7405






Like I said in a recent post, I've been sewing quite a lot during the past few months trying to sew up some of the beautiful fabrics that I already own.  These two red dresses were made in early July.

Simplicity S1314 is a favorite TNT.  I can make this dress in a few hours.  All adjustments already made and using a neoprene knit makes it quick and easy.  This fabric comes from Minerva Fabrics in the UK.  I've had it for a few years.  Originally, I made an off the shoulder McCall's top.  But it just didn't work out.  The whole project was trashed, and I order two more yards of fabric because I really like the print.






McCall's M7405 I only made it once before in 2022.  I thought  it was time to make another.  It is a perfect style for summer.  And these dog days of summer in the Midwest have been extremely hot.  This fabric came from Fashion Fabric Fabrics.  I purchased it this year.  The light and airy viscose challis moves with the slightest ease.  It's a great little summer dress that breathes. 

So, these are two of the dresses that I planned to make and wear this summer.

Stay Tune for more of the summer sewing lineup.

Happy Sewing!
