FO - McCall's 6400 and Adieu 2011

Here is my second to last FO for the year, another McCall's 6400 top. this time for my Sister. I also made her a dress, but she has to take pictures and send it to me first. This is my second time making this shirt. The first time was the black gauzy knit that I had to double layer. This was a quick project that took no more than an hour to make. I like how it is more drapey on her versus me. I made the medium and that seems to fit a more petite frame. I will try to buy the next size up when they go on sale again to get the larger slouchy look.

So I counted my successful FOs for this year and it totaled 61. My goal for 2011 was to make less volume and more quality, but I am happy with most of what I made. I will try to make a post that shows my favorites and the breakdown of what I made.

FO - Vogue 8774 Jeans and McCall's 6400 Knit Top

I completed two new FOs this week. I started a wearable muslin for the Vogue 8774 jeans pattern. This is a great pattern. The only real change I need to do for my fashion fabric is to raise the pockets in the back (my fault) and remove excess in the CB seam to avoid the gaposis issue.

This is a fast and fun top with only one piece. I think the medium might be a bit tight on me, especially since I had to double the gauzy fabric to make it work-appropriate. I have already cut a second version and will try to wear it tomorrow. More pics to come.
