Sew Along for M7991 and Pattern Review

M7991 is a knit dress with a wrap top and a knit skirt, it is a great pattern if you are a beginner or just want a quick sew. I have now made it twice, and both times I have used 2 yards of fabric. This would be a great pattern to make with a knit print and it will need a belt (at least I feel like mine will) and a great pair of boots.

Pattern Sizing: Pattern has one size range from Small to XL. I cut an XL and had to take it in, so perhaps next time I will be cutting a size L and going from there!


Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes looks exactly like it does on the pattern envelope.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes the instructions very easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the pattern, great pattern as its a quick sew and you can change the color of the neck band or sleeve cuffs.

Fabric Used:
I have made this pattern twice, once for myself in a mustard knit and also in a white, gray and blue knit print. I’m linking them both.


Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I didn’t extend the bodice but I did add about three inches to the skirt.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, already have and yes would recommend it to others. Its a great pattern for the pattern stash.
