Finished McCall’s 6920
I stitched down the facings, sewed the hem and put in the zipper and it is done! I really like how this fits! I will probably end up making this pattern again.

4070 lining part 2
Since I already had the darts marked I sewed the darts next. Then I sewed the hem. I know it seems kind of weird to hem at this time but, it was easier now than it would have been after … Continue reading
