I am a creature of habit and if something works it will be re-produced.
I used the McCalls M6964 F5 pattern sizes 16-24.
The material was acquired at Abakhan, Mostyn Near Rhyl on a Craft and Chat outing by coach. 18 ladies in search of fabric, my idea of heaven, some peoples idea of hell on earth. There is a really nice cafe provided for people in the second category.
The blue starry material was much finer and was trickier to piece together.
Sadly I think the colours have run slightly after the first wash, but its still wearable.
The flowery material was thicker and has produced an old fashioned and I have to say a bit frumpy garment, but its fine for daytime.
They were both made using the over-locker and finished on the sewing machine. I am still getting to grips with going round corners on the over-locker. I did 2 passes on all the sleeve attachments. Which is scary when its removing strips to make the shoulders fit.
I have bought some really nice Jersey for the next one, fingers crossed.
