Easter is a great time to get together with family and friends. I hosted my family for Easter dinner this year. It's amazing how much work goes into feeding 10 people. What is strange for me is that I am more stressed about setting the menu then actually preparing the meal. Once the menu is set, I can easily execute. I LOVE to cook and I LOVE to entertain. Needless to say, this weekend went beautifully. With all the hustle and bustle of the long weekend, I still managed to make a few pieces.
Item #1- Casual Zip UP
I love this casual Zip up jacket. I used
McCall's 6614. This pattern is very easy to make and it provides you with a variety of options that are great! I wanted a light jacket that I could throw on when I was running out the door. The pattern also gives you options for sweatshirt styles with and without a hood.
Item #2- Cotton Printed Dress
This dress I made before combining two patterns and making some minor adjustments to the pattern. This dress is fun and playful. I am really enjoying the printed on the dress. I discovered that it is important to lay out your pattern pieces the right way when you working with printed patterns, especially when there are words on it.
