DIY – Shift Dress – M7020

Happy New month Beautiful people. I’ve been off the blog for a very long time so ” I’m Baaacckk”  I’ve been so busy with different projects here and there. Finally I’ve had time to sew and take some photos too.

I made this shift dress 2 months ago using McCalls 7020 as a guide. I used view D.

I have used this pattern before for a hooded Tunic Here 

Pattern Adjustment

— The pattern instruction  have you cut 2 pieces for both back and front bodice. I cut both of mine on fold.

— I wanted  much room so I cut a size bigger.

— For a little off shoulder, I lowered the front and back pattern bodice  neck by 2″.

— I opened up the armhole by adding half inch to the armhole and 1″ to the sleeves biceps. The last time I used the pattern it was a bit too tight for my biceps.

— I also added 1″ to the length of the dress.

Finishing 

— I serged the neck edge, folded it half inch and sew it round.

2.  I added pocket to each sides.

I was able to put this dress together within an hour and half.  It was very simple.

I got this knit fabric in one of my scrap hunting at SR Harris  Brooklyn park. You will be surprised at the amazing beautiful fabrics  in their big scrap box. $2 /yrd isn’t  bad at all.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
