Hello All and hoping Everyone had a Great Labor Day. I had a great time, the family came over and we had a BBQ Saturday, filled with food, spirits, hilarious conversation and plain ol' fun. I must admit when I woke up Sunday I spent a good deal of the day tipping around, just the sound of my own feet made me wince...lol.
After a second nap, I was able to tackle a few items on my EOTS list and manage to sew 3 garments Sunday & Monday. This list is a way of getting my favorite summer pieces out of my system and then moving onto fall projects.
First up, is McCalls 6282: Misses' Lined Top and Dresses - Used a lightweight poly/lycra knit from my stash. I purchased this fabric from Fulton Fabrics some time ago in a few colors and made this one & this one earlier this summer.
This fabric is from my recent purchase from Fabric Sav-a-thon in a poly/spandex. This dress is a true staple in my wardrobe and will be making more for the fall with long sleeves.
I've made this wrap dress numerous times and made minor modifications to the last two versions. My last rendition of this dress, I modified it by omitting self-fabric ties and sewing the over lay skirt to the under skirt at the waist seam creating a faux wrap dress.
A few Pics of the various Versions of this dress:
Olive Dress
Argyle Dress
Beige stripe
Red/Black
Animal Print
The rain kept me from wearing it today and hopefully will get to wear it later this week.
Yesterday, I tried my hands at making homemade dog treats for my furry kids, after Andrea posted about making them for her furry child. I used this recipe - Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
One of two batches cooling
Overall 2 of my 3 dogs liked them. I will try another recipe for my oldest dog Roco whom gave me a "what the hell is this look" when I handed him the biscuit...lol

Another M6262 using the same fabric above but in soft blue
Another version of the Wrap dress using my RTW Template, which I describe as a fitted wrap dress with waist seam, slightly flared skirt, V-neckline and self-fabric ties
This fabric is from my recent purchase from Fabric Sav-a-thon in a poly/spandex. This dress is a true staple in my wardrobe and will be making more for the fall with long sleeves.
For this version, I did not use self-fabric ties for the closure, instead modified it by making buttonholes on the left and right skirt pieces just above the skirt seam line and added buttons on the undersides.
