I have been sewing for myself a lot lately and as you all know it can be both fun and frustrating. This is my second time sewing the McCall’s Pattern 6488. I used it previously to make this dress and it is definitely becoming my go to pattern for dresses. It is a quick and easy pattern to sew. I made this dress in just under 2 hours the other night and that was from cut to sew. 
I purchased the fabric from Jo-Ann Fabrics. It was in with the jean section and to honest with you I have no idea what type of fabric it is. It does resemble a stretch jean, but I am not certain that is what it is. There is some spandex or Lycra in it because it has a little bit of stretch to it. It is actually very comfortable being a medium weight fabric.
The pattern calls for knits only but I have sewn it twice with a non-knit fabric and they seem to have worked just fine for me. You just need to make sure that the fabric has stretch to it since the dress has no closures.
I chose to go with the 3/4 length sleeve version since it is already winter here in New Hampshire.
My next attempt at this pattern is going to be a pattern remix. I want to remix it into a hooded sweater, what do you think?
What are your go to patterns?
This looks great on you, Christina! I may have that pattern too. I love the fabric and your photos look really gorgeous.
