No. 30 It’s a wrap!

Written by

How are you good people doing? I hope all is well; I’m alright over here if anybody was wondering. Every single time I get dressed I’m in one of my creations but I still (after all this time) cannot bring myself to take that many pictures of myself nor write that many blog posts. I need more discipline and if anyone has any tips for that I wanna hear ’em! I’ve tried over and over again to “force” myself to take pictures but the only pictures I ever like of myself are the impromptu ones; never the ones I actually plan on taking. I took some “for no reason” pictures the other night in the bathroom mirror and go figure I liked them! LOL…I decided I would use a couple of them for this blog post. I may have to come to the conclusion that I may never be that person that follows a strict blogging/picture taking regiment; I just prefer spontaneous things I suppose. Now let me share the details of my dress….

The pattern of the hour is McCall’s M7406 View B (I’ll include a picture of the pattern). I cut the size 16 and it had five pattern pieces. I whipped this dress up in February of 2020; goes to show you I blog whenever I feel like it right? Right! However in my defense this was only my second time wearing it though…The first time I wore it I was in no mood at all to take pictures….I’ll tell y’all about that another time *yikes*….Now back to the dress…I used a printed cotton that I had in my stash; there was three yards…Wrap dresses take a lot of fabric so the yardage I had was perfect. There are also quite a few pretty colors that may be hard to see and are too awesome not to mention: Grape, Aqua, primary brown, cocoa brown, tan, and blue-violet stripes to be exact. This fabric has always been one of my favorites because it’s super soft and buttery…..I have no clue why it’s so soft but I love it a whole lot….I can’t remember where I got it from but I want to say I snagged it on one of my many trips to my favorite thrift stores. According to the notes I took while sewing this dress I installed the bias tape on backwards and had to unpick it ugghhhh….This dress was actually a milestone in my sewing life because it’s the first wrap dress I’ve ever made….I remember the feeling when I was done sewing it of wanting to make ten more….Yeahhhh I still only have the one…(don’t judge me lol)…..In conclusion, it turned out super cute and I love it!

I didn’t want this post to be super long but I did want to share the information I wrote down about this make and of course open the avenues for any questions or comments about it. If you’ve made this pattern or any other wrap dress share it with me! I’d love to see other wrap dresses in action. Okay I’ll add a few photos now and talk to you guys later when the blogging bug bites me again!
