Finished at last ! It seems like every time I have a project that I'm eager to finish, all kind of drama pops up and steals my precious sewing time. I did get some sewing in,during the past weekend. I finished my sheath dress and cut out two pairs of TNT pants. My plans are to reduce my TV watching time (boo) and spend more time sewing (yaay). So far,so good. I cut out my fabric on Saturday,marked and interfaced on Sunday,sewing on Monday and drama (working late=no sewing) on Tuesday. Maybe I can get a little sewing in tonight.
I couldn't use the fabric I'd originally selected for this dress because,there was not enough fabric.
Instead I used another print. My sewing friends choose this print during one of our trips to Hancock Fabrics. I'll build my Spring wardrobe on this dress.
I couldn't get my DD to take a picture. She is my usual photographer. My DH took this photo of me actually wearing the dress,so please excuse the blurry pic.
I think you can still see how the dress fits. I'll definitely sew McCall's 5818 again,also I think I'll try other sheath dress patterns too. I like that it is lined and I don't have to worry about wearing a slip with it. This is a great pattern. The instructions are filled with fitting tips and the pattern is actually printed with commonly used alteration guide lines like ,the full bust adjustment. If you are new to fitting,this is a great pattern to start with.

WOW you did amazing job with that dress so cute. Loving that fabric so spring wearing fabric. WTG. I know what you mean when you get caught up in so many other things it's sometimes taking longer to get back to your sewing table. :) great job on that dress. :)
Wowee! You look great (and so does the dress). Love the print.
Ohmy! I love the print! It is beautiful and the dress fits you sooooo well! You should definitely make more!
Lisa your pattern placement on the fabric was perfect. It makes your waist so tiny. I love the colors too. How smart of you to start sewing for spring now. I think I'll take your lead and do the same.
OOH i like this one!!I'll have to try it,thanks for sharing:)
Love your dress! The fit and color is gorgeous.
Those colors are beautiful on you and will be perfect for spring. you can wear it now with a cardigan or jacket. Very nice fit!! The length is really nice too. Classy!!!
I've been checking all week to see how that turned out. You did a great job. On your suggestion I'm going to add that pattern to my stash.
Nice dress, I'm loving the colors and it fits you so well. That's one of the things I'll be working on soon is fitting a dress pattern, I love dresses for Spring.
Stunning! That is a great fabric choice to work your spring wardrobe around. I am adding that pattern to my PR wish list, now.
Your sheath dress looks wonderful on you.
Great dress and perfect for spring to summer.
You did such a marvelous job - AS USUAL! I love, love, love that print on you.
The work it took to get this fit was well worth it. You look like a million bucks! This should become one of your tried and trues. Way to go!!
