Simplicity 7243 Cheetah Print Knit Dress Fall Wardrobe Fabric 2

I think making a pattern the second time around is so much easier!  It only took a day to finish the Simplicity 7243 Cheetah print knit dress.  I could have finished it in 1/2 of a day but life gets in the way sometimes!

I feel like I can mix and match a lot of items with this dress.  A black belt, A black scarf, Turquoise necklace and shoes, a brown sweater, a tan cardigan, a black sweater, an orange cardigan.............. I could just go on and on and on!

I hemmed the sleeves, neck and bottom with a 4.0 twin stretch needle.  I folded the fabric double to give it a little body and used a 4.0 stitch length.  On the bottom hem, I used my walking foot.  No puckers or wrinkles!

I have three of the five fabrics left to sew.  I am really interested in the beige/tan suede like fabric for my next project.  I'm thinking of either a 6 gore skirt or a straight skirt with a flounce at the bottom and a jacket.



Any suggestions for the plaid fabric?  I'm trying to mix and match a lot of the items.  I think the suede like jacket with the cheetah print dress will work too.

Until next time......................
