My first version of McCalls 9158 was the navy with white polka dots, http://newvintage.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/mccalls-9158-complete/. This time, I’m making the 3/4 length sleeve in a wool blend that has been sitting in my fabric stash for at least 6 years, possibly more. The navy version was a little snug, so I added a bit more room to this version. I think I may have added too much. It looks quite big through the waist. I won’t know for sure until I put the zipper in. Because it’s a wool blend, I’ve lined the bodice and plan to line the sleeves. While this dress will be warm, I don’t plan on buying any more wool. It’s making my hands red just handling it for sewing. I hope I’ll be able to wear it without discomfort.
