Yesterday I decided to make something for the summer as a way of getting out of the winter doldrums. This winter seems endless as does the snow.
So, I decided to make McCalls pattern 6963. Because I was using fabric leftover from a dress I made 2 years ago, I made the short sleeved version. The fabric was a very stretchy knit as called for in the directions. In effect, I really was making a muslin to test fit, etc.
The pattern went together pretty easily. I serged most of it. Overall, I like the top but I will go down one size on the neckline for the next one I make. And I will make another cowl neck top!!
Welcome to my blog!!!! Here is where I'll post updates to my site, arlenesbags.com, my etsy shop and to post comments on my experiences, both hits & misses, with sewing patterns I have used. Finally, here in my little corner of the net, I have a place to shamelessly blather on & on about sewing .

The Jeannine 2 Zipper Wristlet
If you like wristlets, pouches or whatever you want to call them, then I think you will love the Jeannine 2 Zip Wristlet.
Measuring about 7.75" across X 5" high, the Jeannine Wristlet offers double storage space because of its 2 zippered sections. Because the strap is detachable, the wristlet can be carried as a wristlet or just tossed into a larger bag to!hold cosmetics, charhing cords, etc.
The wristlet is shown in the elegant Belle of the South prequilted fabric.
Price: $20.
The Amanda iPhone 6 Case
New at Arlene's Bags is the Amanda iPhone 6 Case. The Amanda iPhone 6 Case can be made in 4 different ways, with an open top, with a flap closure, with a flap closure & outside storage pocket, or with a flap closure, an outside storage pocket & a wrist strap.
Shown in the photo is an order for 2 cases made with a flap closure & an outside storage pocket. I used my earbuds & LG cell phone which is a bit shorter than the iPhone 6 for the photo.
Price as shown: $20.00
