Happy 4th of July

I whipped up two garments for the 4th of July celebration.

McCalls' M6550 altered

Girl's Dress

Pattern:  McCall's M6550 - This pattern is for woven fabric, but I used a knit.  It is just a little big, so I should have gone down a size.  I wanted the neckline to be square, so I altered the pattern.  I added navy blue knit as the trim around the openings.  I also took out the fullness (gathers) in the front skirt.  

Maybe I should say, I started with M6550 and then drafted my own pattern.  

Simplicity 1916

Knit Top

Pattern:  Simplicity 1916 - I have used this pattern before and altered it to fit well.  See here.

Fabric for both

Chez Ami cotton jersey print.  I loved this print so I grabbed enough for two projects when it went on sale.

Happy 4th of July!

Enjoy the 4th of July!
