I received some new patterns in yesterday's post. This one McCalls 6035 I can't wait to try.
I can see this shirt pattern being made more than once. I really like the design of this shirt and am hoping I have time to start tracing and altering the pattern for fit this afternoon.
McCalls 6040http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M6040.htm?search=6040&page=1 is another of the patterns in this order. I can see this as a jacket to wear around at home. McCalls 5191http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M5191.htm?search=5191&page=1 is also in this order. As I dont have many casual jackets this may come in handy. V1136, M6039, V7975 and M6018 were the other patterns in this order. All of which I have plans for.
I am expecting the Marfy 2010/11 catalogue to arrive this week.
Lots of alterations done lately and a little sewing for myself. Now to trace of 6035.
And this is the finished dress. The dress has a corselette fitted to the hips. The boning runs on the princess seams of the corselette and both the corselette and the dress are lined. You could run, jump do anything in this dress and feel confident that it won't fall down. Michelle did jump around to test it during the fittings and it didn't budge. The corselette has a waist stay and uses hook and eyes as closures on the side seam, the dress uses an invisible zipper. Because of the corselette there was no pressure on the invisible zipper. The bodice also has beading on the side gathers. 
I am pleased with this dress. It took a lot of hours to plan, draft and sew and I enjoyed doing it.
