Snowflake dress! Yay!

Yay, got to love when things were easy. This was relatively easy, I got hung up on the pockets but not bad. The only problem I had was the dress was SCANDALOUSLY  short!!! I should have read the reviews first b/c everyone says that. The model is deceiving in the picture...

Here is my dress! I love it! It is really warm!!! One of the warmest dresses I have for the winter. Paired with some grey boots = love!!!

The cats love to be part of the pictures. So here we go. Sebastian my baby. 

This is the last of my fabric so no matching. 

You can barely tell I added about ~3 inches to the bottom. Good thing it is busy fabric. 

Now I will also add that the neckline didn't roll (it is a raw edge) like in the instructions. But it is all good! I love this dress!!!
Recap of the things I made with this fabric
1. this dress

2. long sleeve top

3. Leggings

Not much left of this fabric. :) Just scraps! Yay!

Snowflake long sleeve top McCall's pattern 6796

This was a really easy pattern to sew. Since it is sooo cold out I am trying to focus more of things I could wear right now in these frigid temperatures. Time for more of that snowflake knit fabric.

I used this easy McCall's pattern 6796. 

The fit is pretty well, the arms are not tight but it doesn't look like they are supposed to-I am fine with that. Super easy to sew except for that cowl. I got confused on how to add it. Messed me up pretty bad. I actually did it my way as I was afraid that  the seam would show. I added my own buttons- 2 instead of 3. This top was so busy as it was with the pattern- these were just a small little hint of sparkle as they are rhinestones covered in a thin mesh fabric. The length is great for myself.

If you might remember I used this fabric for my leggings project. I now have a dress in the works with this fabric and I should be sending it to the scrap bin. I have a few charity project ideas for this fabric. I mean how cute would this fabric be for a pair of baby shoes? Christmas ornaments? Still thinking. Baby steps. Let's make some clothes first and then deal with the smaller stuff. :0)
