April 2021 Makes

 Heyyyyyy!

It's been a while but I'm Backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! I hope you're hanging in there.  Here in Florida everything is pretty much open.  We're still required to wear mask.  I am not complaining.  

April was an amazing month.  I made 16 garments!!!!  I made quite a few easy makes but still 16!!!!  So I am not going into too much detail about each make because this would be a super long post.

This month, I have been focusing on a few things

-practicing necklines in knit garments.  

-making an effort to use fabric from my stash.

I'm officially in love with indie patterns.  I don't have to do as many adjustments.  

So we go with my makes for this month

My favorite make this month is....Drum Roll Please.... McCall 7774.  

It was almost a three-way tie between McCall 7774, McCall 8503, and McCall 7943.  I reach for M7774 more because it has pockets.  Pocket's make me very happy!!!

Well that's all of my makes!  Have a fantastic weekend!
