McCall's M7000, View A, Yoke, Sleeves, and Lining

 I have finished the dress portion.
For the yoke, I did french seams for the shoulders.

Then I attatched it to the bodice.

Next I sewed the lining together.

Then attached the lining to the top of the bodice, under stitched the lining, and slip-stitched the sides and bottom of the lining.

Next I stitched the sides of the facing and turned it right side out.

Then stitched it to the collar matching raw edges and under stitching the seam. Which I do not have pictured.

Next came the sleeves. I stitched the sleeve seam with a french seam.

And hemmed the cuffs.

And attached them to the bodice and yoke with a french seam.

The attached seam

Finally I hemmed the bottom of the skirt with a rolled hem.

I finished the dress part of the Anna dress, I'm still debateing on the appliques. I'll probably do them at a later time.

McCall's M7000, View A, Bodice, Skirt, and Zipper

I started  by piecing the bodice together, the front first.

 Then the back.

 Then sew the front to the back at the side seams.

Next sew the skirt back pieces together back-stitching at large dot.

Then sewing the front to the back at the side seams.

 I decided to sew a french seam in the sides of the skirt.

Next, sew the bodice to the skirt.

And, finally, add the zipper.

I sewed the zipper on using my method this time instead of the method in the instructions.
Next is the yoke, sleeves, and lining.

McCall's M7000, View A, Cutting Layout

I have all my pattern pieces cut out and ready to go.
Most of the pieces are the same as for view B, the Elsa dress. View A, Anna dress, merely get rid of the overlay and shortens the skirt.

I have the skirt pieces in blue.

The yoke and sleeves in the white. Since there were no overlay pieces I could actually cut it with a normal fold. Unlike the cross fold of view B

 The bodice in black, I layered the lining behind the satin folded the same way.

Everything is all cut out and ready to go.
Oh and here's a picture of my scrap pile

There were quite a few good sized remnants leftover.

Time to get started.
Happy Sewing.

McCall's M7000, View A, Fabric and Notions

McCall's M7000, View A

I finally got the fabric for the Anna dress I am making.

I chose costume glitter satin and posh lining, in black, for the bodice.

White costume satin for the yoke and sleeves

And royal blue costume satin for the skirt.

Finally I have one 14" polyester all purpose zipper, one 1/4" clear button, black and white thread, and the pattern I am going to be using.

I chose the costume satin this time so it should all hold together better than the organza of the last one. Also not pictured is the 1/8" elastic I am going to use for the button hole. I have zig-zaged the cut end of the fabric and it is waiting to be washed before I get started.
