Don’t faint or anything, but I finished my dress! No photos yet – I’m waiting for a day/night when my husband is home. Now that the time has changed it stays light later, so hopefully I will be able to get them soon. As I write this, it’s 73 degrees outside – spring is here! This excites me, even if we didn’t have much winter. Would you like to vote for my next project? I’ll go with majority rules. Otherwise I’ll spend a week dithering over what to start! It’s between these two (I am in a suiting sort of mood)
McCall’s 6518: This is springing up online already, with very nice reviews!
Vogue 8231: From my lonely OOP patterns. This has large buttons running up the back of the top, and is actually two pieces. The fabric is washed and ready to cut!
Help me to choose!
I would love to see the Vogue made up because I have that pattern, too! I am planning on making it just as a top here in the near future. I’d love to see it in a polka dot – I’m going to do a floral!
Vogue!!
McCalls 6518
McCall’s 6518!
Vogue.
McCall’s 6518
i love that shape and i think it would suit you.
Vogue! So cute.
I vote McCall’s…I think it’s really cute and I adore plaid.
I vote for the McCall’s. The fabric has a little more cold weather vibe than does the polka dot. If Spring retreats a bit, it’ll look perfect for the chill.
6518. Very selfishly since I’m going to make that for my daughter and I’d like to know what you think of it.
The plaid!
McCall’s 6518 – the ruffles look so cute!
That’s a tough one. The McCalls just because of the ruffles, and I’m excited to see the plaid all made up.
I love the polka dot fabric, but I would like to see the McCalls done.
I would also like to see the McCall’s.
Love the the ruffles and the plaid. My vote goes to the McCall’s.
vogue. peplums are in, and it looks like a cute modern version of the 40s classic style.
I vote for the Vogue — the peplum is darling!
Vogue! Vogue! Vogue! The polka dot fabric is adorable and the peplum is sublime.
McCalls … and then Vogue. I can’t choose.
I go w/ the polka-dot print for the 2nd pattern. Just a little warmer looking for perhaps a few more cool days… before summer.
McCall’s. I can’t quite imagine a plaid with those ruffles. Do it
I love both of them, but I vote for the polka dots.
Vogue!
Vogue, and OMG, where did you get the sateen? Love it!
McCall’s first! Because it’s still winter (technically? maybe?) and may as well sew a more cold-weather look dress, before all you want to do is sew spring/summer clothes!
Vogue! But I really do love the material you chose for the McCall’s also.
The vogue please. Fabric and pattern are awesome
mccalls
I love them both but I vote for the Vogue
I vote for the Vogue
6518 – can just see it that tartan!
I’m a sucker for polka dots but somehow the McCall dress seems more suited to the season. I vote for the McCall dress first. Best of luck.
McCall I also have this pattern and would love to see how yours turns out!
Vogue
You will breeze through the polka-dots since the pattern seems quite simple. And then you will have the catharsis from that project to inspire you when you are matching plaids for the next…
6518 – Love this pattern.
I like the vogue, but not as much as the other!
Mccall’s 6518 b/c it’s harder to envision in the plaid.
Mccalls! i want to make this one too!
The McCall’s pattern is adorable! I love plaid, too:)
Are you still taking votes! I vote for the McCalls!!! I love that pattern.
I may be far too late to this party, but I vote for the McCall’s!
