Sewing: Pattern Review: McCall’s 6751 Part Two
Pattern review: McCall’s 6751 part two – about 10 days ago I did a review of this same pattern, but style B. Today, we’ll look at style D. Pattern Review Style D is so much better…or maybe it’s because of the fabric choice! On style D I used a light cotton knit. Worked well. First – be sure to look at the finished measurements to see that they will line up with your own body measurements. I like how this top turned out a bit…

Recipe: Black Forest Cupcake
Black forest cupcake. Check. Turning 33. Check. What! Yes…today is my birthday and I made black forest cupcakes. Why? Well, it’s an adorable story.

Recipe: Chickpea and Quinoa Burger
Chickpea and quinoa burger for meatless Monday. Last time we made bean burgers and they were good. These chickpea burgers were just as tasty and filling. That’s the key, they fill you up. Also – you’ll notice me holding up a bowl – looks so silly. Usually when I make recipes I do so during the day, or with a lot of light so that the pictures are well exposed. I was making us dinner and using the natural light from all the windows and…

Sewing: Pattern Review: McCall’s 6751
Pattern Review Sewing pattern review of McCall’s M6751. This pattern is easy – just like it says on the outside of package.

I did make pattern D, too, yet I’ll share that one later. For each pattern I used different fabric, thus different insights. Okay – for the playful keyhole back. I used a stretch double knit…
