I've just come in from the cold after being out of the loop for a couple of years. What with being a full time carer for my elderly Mum over lockdown, childcare for the grandkids and building project, I haven't had a lot of time to sew or contribute. Life has settled down a bit and, with my new sewing room up and running I'm all fired up and ready to go
.
First off are two dresses from my stash. The first is
New Look 6632 in a ponte knit. This is the second I've made. I changed the in-seam pockets to patch pockets on this one as the outlined pockets showed through on this plain fabric. The second is
New Look 6183 from a crinkle crepe. I omitted the skirt seam gathers and did my usual FBA. The sleeves were ridiculously baggy so I made a little design tuck on the lower hem.
All in all, happy with them, just need somewhere to go now!
