I was enamored by the pattern Mc Call's 4769, a cute little shirtdress. I had a piece of thrift store fabric that I used as a muslin (actually--a practice piece). Different blogs had warned that constructing the collar was very frustrating and not well-illustrated in the pattern directions but I found a blog that clearly explains the process and slowly followed her directions. I am pleased with the dress and may try it in a different fabric. Not sure where I will wear all the cute dress!For instructions see:

You look lovely, Paula! Last time I was doing a dress, my cats chewed up the pattern pieces...while they were attached to the fabric. Then my sewing machine is "clogged." I always can get that fixed myself, but last time I couldn't. I put it away in frustration. Sigh...I hope I can fix it next time I take it out.
Looks really great Paula,I love how the angles on the side came together.I quess someone will just have to take you out dancing now!!!
