There Has Been Sewing!

Hallelujah! My sewing mojo has returned. And there has been sewing.  


Yes, those are shoulder seams! As a matter of fact I'm finished sewing the side seams complete with side pockets. 


This project is a mix of three patterns, McCall's 7546 for the base of the shirtdress, Vogue 1503 sleeves are swapped because I love the fit and the beautifully drafted sleeve placket, and OOP Vogue 8934 pocket pattern. Progress has been slow but it feels good to be back at work on this project.  

Happy Sewing!
