McCall's 6549 Review

McCall's 6549

((made in triplicate))

Pattern Description: 
Children's/Girls' Unlined Jackets, Top, Dresses and Leggings

Pattern Sizing:
Size 3-14

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, exactly. I made no changes to the design.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very, not even a one-second "huh?" moment.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Very easy, quick pattern. Great when you need to make multiples!

Fabric Used:
Joel Dewberry; Medallions in turquoise, Swallow study and Damask in teal

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None at all

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I dont know that I would need to make more of the tops (already made 3) but maybe the cardi (unlined jacket).

These Tops I made for my Nieces for Easter. They turned out beautifully. As an added bonus since I made them a little big, they will be able to wear in the fall with long sleeved tees for layering.

Layer Cake Sampler

I was looking around for some new inspiration..a new little something to sew up. 

I found the Layer Cake Sampler on Material Girl Quilts website. 

It's not to late to join up!

Here is my progress so far:

Week One:

Picked out my fabrics 

(they might have been purchased in 

my biggest fabric buying

splurge ..eva eva!)

Block 1

Block 2

Block 3

Block 4

Block 5

Block 6

Mostly what your seeing fabricwise is Joel Dewberry and some Andover.

If you really just are wanting to see is my fabric-binging . . . .

 The stack to the left top corner is of course for this QAL. The stack to the right is V&Co Simply Style charm pack and a stack of 1/2 yard peices, then to the right is the Kate Spain Sunny Side and a 1/2 yard of my favorite raindrop print for a binding. Below that are a couple yards each of  Joel Dewberry Notting Hill and J.D. Bungalow print and a green print that I just liked (Denyse Schmidt Free Spirit). Then to finish up this stash-frenzy is a couple of charm packs of the BooCrew. 

I think it is SO obvious that when I took the first 3 pictures

 for this post I had NO idea how to use my camera yet!
