Yarn Dress, another McCall's 6887





It's finally spring! Time for sundresses everyday. I made another version of McCall's 6887, my third version. The other dresses are Halloween and fall appropriate. M6887 is just a simple scoop neck princess seam bodice with a paneled full-ish skirt. Sometimes it's just time to whip up something you know will fit and be cute. 




The fabric is from the Cotton + Steel Cat Lady collection. It has dancing yarn balls on it! This is basically what my house looks like. Just yarn in every corner. So obviously I had to incorporate yarn into this dress somehow!  I took a Madelinetosh Unicorn tail in the color Pop Rocks, and knitted a 4 stitch I-cord. I knitted almost the entire skein, cast off and then did another cord for the bow. 




I then gave the I-cord a really good steaming, hopefully that shrunk it up, making it ok to wash. The cord was pinned and machine stitched into place after the front bodice was assembled. (I promise that is not a pucker in the princess seam, just an unfortunate wrinkle after wearing it all day). 



The neckline is finished with bias tape, mine is navy polka dot of course. Just a cute surprise you can see when it's hanging on the hanger. I love this dress because it combines two craft universes. I might have to knit trim for every dress now!

  1. This is sooooo cute but I have to beg to differ with you. It is NOT spring! Spring is consistent warm days not this up and down thing we got going on. *LOL* Love that you knitted trim for the dress that is very cool.

  2. Lovely dress! The i-cord embellishment is a fantastic idea and works well with the fabric.

  3. Night outfits are much more open than ball outfits, since they are accessible in any outline, including A-line, trumpet, sheath, domain and mermaid.tracksuit bottoms

  4. Many yarn providers and yarn put away currently stock these uncommon yarns and, gratitude to the Internet, you can even purchase these yarns on the web.
