When my first order from Gorgeous Fabrics arrived last week, I was so excited. I had so many different ideas running through my head. Should I make a top and skirt? Should I make a dress? Should I wash it, fold it neatly and stash it? Then I read this post by Toy, and decided not to stash it, but use it. You see, I have a bad habit of buying fabric and then waiting for the PERFECT pattern. I have fabric in my stash that has been waiting for that perfect pattern for about 20 years now. Anyway, I decided not to stash it and sew up something fun with it. Since McCall’s 6744 was still on my cutting table I decided to make up view C.
If you are looking for a nice summer dress, you might want to pick this little gem up.
And, if you looking for really nice knit fabric, check out Gorgeous Fabrics (I hear there is a sale on knits this weekend).
Have a great weekend everyone. Cut into that fabric and sew something grand!
{as I sew it} 
Gorgeous!!!!!!!
Thanks Ann!
A really pretty dress! Love it!
Thank you Diana!
Wow , this looks fantastic! Did you use a coverstitch machine? I’ll have to check out Gorgeous fabrics.
Thanks Justine! No cover stitch used, in fact I didn’t even use my serger (too lazy to change the threads). Just my sewing machine with a small zigzag (SL 1) for all seams and hems. Yes, for sure check out Ann’s lovely fabrics. I have ordered twice now from her, and I am very happy with everything I have bought. She also seems to cut long, which is an added bonus!
This is a really beautiful dress! I have been looking at some polka dot fabric lately thinking about a dress for myself. Visiting you from Sew Country Chick
Thank you Shirley, and thanks for stopping by.
Great dress–looks so easy and comfortable to wear, but polished. Life is short–use the good china *and* the good fabric.
I agree Jane!
I love this dress! The fabric is great. (this dress is on my to-sew list, and I plan to make one for lounging by the pool)
I think you will love it Laura. It is a great little pattern.
So glad you decided to sew your fabric and not stash it. Love your dress!
Me too! Thanks Sarah.
Lovely dress and certainly gorgeous fabric! Itlooks lovely on you!
Thank you!
Very cute, I like this version on you also.
Thanks Toy!
OMG I so do that, buy fabric ’cause I like it but then it just waits for the perfect pattern! Love the fabric and it looks fab on you.
I am so bad at stashing….so glad I made this up right away. I have worn it like every day since:)
Teri I enjoy your sewing adventures so have nominated you for the Super Sweet Blogger Award – see my latest post for details.
I like the new dress. I need to do the same as you have done but with stash only. No new inspiring fabric for me (sniff)
Thanks Mary Beth. I am making myself use stash fabric for a few things and then reward myself with new fabric. I think my logic is sound but my husband probably doesn’t 🙂
That dress looks great onyou! I love the fabric.
Thank you Nothy. I am loving wearing!
The fabric is attractive…. Thanks for sharing. But Is this homemade?
Thank you and yes I made it.
