Pink Flamingo

Pattern: McCall's 7191 tops in different versions. This is version D as shown here and a different version here.

 Fabric: Flamingo Pink ITY Knit from Fabric Mart
Adjustments: Three-quarter length sleeves, lowered bust darts, doubled the back upper facing and serged, and made the front facing wider since I didn't line this one like I did the front of this one.

I would really like a dress like this and maybe color blocked in the back.

Nothing but Fun! Another White Party!

Pattern: McCall's 6247 pants

 

 
 

Pattern: McCall's 7191 blouse with ruffle back view D

Alterations: Added 2" to length, net for upper back, sleeves, and neckline, and shortened sleeves. Fabric was added for upper back lining. The bust dart was lowered and needs to be decreased another two inches as it's too far into the bust point.

 Fabric: White poly/lycra Techno Knit from Fabric Mart and polyester large fishnet thrifted fabric

   McCall's 7191 view D  same pattern as here


This was my first time using the Techno knit. It has a sheen and it creases well.

Granny Break! Date Outfit!

McCall's 7191 Semi-fitted, pullover tops have self -lined yoke back, back hemline variations, and narrow hem. View C has shaped hemline and gathered back.

 Fabric: Ivory crepe with chiffon

Instead of using the facings, white lightweight blouse lining was used as an underlining on the front and upper back. White chiffon was doubled, gathered. and serged at the hemline. Both front and back were turned and topstitched 1/4 inch.
I did topstitch the front with crème thread and the back chiffon with white thread.

I need to check reviews and see if anyone mentioned lowering the bust darts or is everything 60 as it need to be lowered and I will not tell how much as I'm embarrassed.

Pants: McCall's 6247 with not alterations
Fabric: Purple/Burn Umber/Multi Textured Medallions Print ITY Knit from Fabric Mart.

I did go back and lower the pant legs by 1 inch.

All three grandchildren will return for another week on tomorrow. Let's pick up the pace!
