Larger sizes lose their hanger appeal and you have to have a lot of imagination to see them as they would actually wear. I know I shouldn't post hanger shots but I get so excited about what I've sewn. I will try to be more conscious of that fact going forward!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-48970664945422289622016-09-01T22:22:05.802-04:002016-09-01T22:22:05.802-04:00Michelle - I honestly can't wait to see what y...Michelle - I honestly can't wait to see what you sew for yourself!

I've loved your blog from the begining, but the first time I've posted....I sewed with a "plan" this summer, with a river cruise in mind....lots of fun having a goal....think I may do that for my winter sewing. Have 2 summer/early fall tops to finish and then I'll be planning as well.

While each of the pieces you made were absolutely adorable, that McCalls 7385 dress, I would have to agree is a "show stopper"!

In looking at the pics I could not pick a favorite, there were so many great looks. One surprising one still to me was that you had posted the t shirt dresses on hangers and I had thought ordinary but when you wore them they looked amazing. Taught me that simple can look smashing.
