Finishing a couple of dresses...

In a sudden flurry of productivity (i.e. I needed to have the dress forms ready for my next projects!), I've finally finished two dresses for myself:

On the left is McCalls M4826, view A.
As you can probably tell, my favourite thing about this dress is the pockets!

On the right is Simplicity 3673, view C.
It's made in my beloved fish fabrics from Cia's Palette.

(Please excuse my grumpy face - I'm not feeling very well.)

Jennie's Halter Top

I haven't done much sewing for about a week, thanks entirely to a horrible lurgy which has left me barking like a sealion and generally feeling sorry for myself. Today I was supposed to be at work, but I'm still coughing and losing my voice. I did feel up to doing something a little more strenuous than fiddling with the website though, so I've made a top.

This one's for Jennie - she saw the Pink Panther dress and asked whether I could make a top for her, from the leftover fabric. The answer was yes, but I wanted to make a mock-up before I took the scissors to the real thing.

This is now in the post, winging its way up the country for Jennie to try on, and give me some feedback on the fit and style.
