One of my favourite patterns - New Look 6093

 I first made New look 6093 back in 2015, first with a pink & white plaid stretch woven cotton. I loved the fact the dress was shaped very differently then current dresses I was still buying at the store. What I've recently realized is that it's a 1940's inspired dress, most likely a late 40's pin-up style. I've found a few other dresses made like this one with bias side pieces when researching.  So far all of the ones I've made have been with some form of cotton. Next time I make this dress, I want to make it in a flowy rayon .

One of the things I love about this pattern is that it has a reasonably full skirt but it's not using tons of fabric. I tend to prefer dresses with less fabric than more and I like my dresses above the knee so that I'm less likely to trip. Believe it or not, when I wear long dresses with full skirt, I'm far more clumsy.

With some colourful cotton batik - Last one I made but never took a photo.

Tops made with leftovers

Today I finally got to take photos of everything I've sewed for myself since the beginning of 2021. I hadn't felt well enough to actually take decent photos. Today I took the time with my good camera to to document everything I made so far.

The two tops are made with fabric leftovers. One is made with a favourite green/leopard print and the other is made with 2 different rayon knits left overs

Two more Sundresses !

Butterick 5181

New Look 6369

The blue sundress in a soft rayon challis was made with New Look 6369.  I love it. This dress reminds me of my favourite American Eagle dress.

The other one is also in a soft rayon challis border print was made with Butterick 5181.

Pink dress

I finished this one early May.It was made with a NewLook pattern and some cheap fabric I picked up for $1.99 a meter on St Hubert street. It's a stretch poly cotton.  I will be making other version of this dress as I really like how it fits.

Jungle Print dress

My latest sewing creation is a  knit dress, made with a cotton-Lycra jungle print, using New Look 6121. Love the print, love the feel of the print, and love the dress, so comfortable.
