Fabrics, Patterns and (almost) Finishes...

"Just take a quick look at the clearance rack" I said to Liz as we were passing by the fabric on our way to the check out.

Four cuts of fabric later and I had to make myself stop....

A few days later, I found out that Joann's has McCall's patterns 5/$7.00 which makes them $1.40 each. 

There was a limit of ten but I stopped at five.  I had a total savings of $73.75.

So here is a little dress for my granddaughter using one of the fabrics and one of the new patterns.   I LOVE how this print worked up into such a cute little dress.  McCall's M5613.

 It's not quite finished.  Of all the buttons I have in my stash, I didn't have any that suited me.

 You will see the I have the straps pinned differently.  The pattern suggest the straps being on the outside but I think I like them just the opposite.

This one I'm sharing just because.  I bought these fabrics a couple weeks ago and finally got this little pillowcase style dress done yesterday afternoon.  They are "sew" cute and go together so quickly.  And who doesn't like chevron and dots?!

  I may add a little somethin', somethin' to the bottom.

I think I got all my little daily chores done this morning so I think I'll spend some more time at the sewing machine......however you are spending your day.....ENJOY!
