Sisters' Dresses All Finished

Well, It took me just under two months,but I've made six dresses for my threee sisters. I forgot to take pictures of one dress but Here are the other five.

                                      Silhouette Patterns , the Swing Dress, not blogged.

                   And Silhouette Patterns, Georgio's Top, lengthened to a dress length, just finished.

My sisters are all happy with their dresses and I  struggled a bit with the fit on some of them, but all in all, it was good experience. I wouldn't take on so many another time. I've promised one sister, Gloria a denim pant suit. Her shape is very much like mine except she's taller, so I don't foresee a lot of fitting problems , but please wish me luck.

I want to say a bit about the last dress I made for my sister, Helena.I was able to make this one without any changes at all to the pattern except to lower the neckline a bit and add a little to the length of the cap sleeves. Giorgio's Top is an amazing pattern and is very flattering on. I made this one for myself last summer and It feels wonderful and makes a great dress to go dancing in. I love it and so does Helena.

I was very happy to start something for me this week. I'm working on a Marci Tilton jacket , V8620., and it's so cute!!  I'm having such fun with it!!

I hope you found time to sew this week.
