Favourite Summer Sewing Hack From McCalls 7381 and 8036

Saturday 20 August 2022

 Hi There,

I hope this crazy warm Summer is being kind to you? I wanted to share a dress hack I have been wearing on repeat ever since I made it in June this year. It's my last make for Minerva Crafts and the link is here.


Its McCalls 7381 and McCalls 8036 hacked as my sketch from a dress to a two piece. If you are thinking of getting more wears from your dresses ...do this! I'm using the bodice and skirt of  McCalls 7381 aka #sashamccalls and the sleeves of 8036.

Here are some photos and thank you to Minerva for selecting me to make this gorgeous fabric up in exchange for a review...






I hope this has inspired you to take your dress patterns and make them into skirts and tops, its been a great experiment and I've worn both as a skirt with a tshirt and blouse with jeans loads!!

Happy Crafting,


Samantha
