McCall's 5972
1 1/4 yards of fabric used.
I haven't sat behind my sewing machine since July 2011.
J U L Y.
I thought I had seriously forgotten how to sew lol.
I needed something that was super duper easy so I went with this.
Let's say YAY for my first project of 2012!!! LOL
I've made this dress before here and here it is seriously my go to pattern for this style dress. Works EVERY time.
I was looking for a reason to wear these blue shoes and this was a great one lol.
I have NO idea what kind of fabric this is, it's a little heavier than challis but it has a great deal of stretch to it. *shrugs* I just know I love it lol.
I'm going to keep up with how much fabric I'm using this year.
I thought about listing the cost to make the dress, but I can't remember how much I paid for fabric that has been in my stash forever lol.
Well that's IT, but I'm officially sewing again!! My mojo is super flowing so let's DO this!!
Praise God! LOL, I am sooooo happy you are sewing again. I was missing snugging with my coffee and ooohing over your creations! Lovely dress and your shoes luvs them....

Looks great. My mom had so many patterns and fabric she tried to get me to sew but I just refused to learn. I can put in a zipper though.

Cute dress Lady! Love the print! Great pick for a "mojo starter". Isn't it crazy how fast time flies when you've got so much to do! Happy sewing in the near future!

Okay I would be crazy by now if I hadn't sewn since July...committed to Bellevue crazy so I'm thrilled that you and your sewing machine have finally reunited. The dress is lovely but I really LIKE those shoes!
