Shades of Gray

Hello All!

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? This year will be a laid back year for me, maybe a binge watch or two on Netflix. Today I want to share another version of McCall’s 7061 dress. This time I made the dress in a gray Ponte knit fabric and paired it with some vintage Converse and a Clara Handbag in camouflage print.

I’ve made this dress before in a black Ponte knit but I made the larger size. There is also a pictorial here on the blog. I bought this pattern a while ago and cut the medium, but I never had the chance to make it. Fast forward some pounds later lol, I thought that the medium would be too small, so I bought another pattern and made the large in black. Speaking of black, our Black Friday sale begins today, all items in the shop are 15% off! Use the code BLACK18 at checkout.

After cleaning out my sewing room, I found the medium that I cut and decided to make it again. I needed to get my sewjo back, so even if it didn’t fit, I could always give it to someone else. Thankfully the medium had a better fit than the large. One of the skills I need to improve with my sewing is proper fitting and this dress just reminded me of that.

Have you made McCall’s 7061? If so, how did you like it?

    I made M7061 in the shorts, but not any of the other views. Your dress turned out nice. Fitting is challenging for me too, so I can definitely relate.
