My Help Cometh From the Lord!

Monday, June 23, 2014

McCall's 6890 - View C/D

FABRIC TYPE/SOURCE:
Green Floral - Ankara (this version is a lightweight cotton with a little stretch) purchased from a local vendor
Navy Gingham (100% cotton) purchased at Wal-Mart.
LIKES:  the overall simplicity of the dress and no closures!
DESIGN CHANGES:  shortened hemline and added a 7" band
ALTERATIONS:  None but would lower the waist by about an inch or so if I should make it again.
Until next time...PEACE AND BLESSINGS!!!

    Nice fabric mix. I've haven't done that much mixing as I'm always unsure--I must just 'DO IT."

    Never would I have even tried those 2 prints together!!! So cute...just adorable!!! I have some checked fabric and plenty of floral...I'm going to TRY mixing 2 together. I don't expect it to be that cute, but it will be fun.

    I LOVE the plaid with the floral. You have a great eye for fabric pairings! The dress is super cute on you. Very summery. :)

    I guess I'm not alone in loving your fabric combination. I really wish I had the courage to try mixing patterns. You did a wonderful job and have a beautiful new dress!
