I’m at your mercy for the month of March. It has been decreed that The Monthly Stitch Challenge for March will be pattern stashbusting with a twist.
I get to use a pattern that is in my stash to make anything I want from it….but the twist is where you come in. The pattern I use is picked by you out of a selection that I choose. I have three contenders and many more fabric choices. I may or may not stick to any of the fabric choices I show you. It all depends on timing and mood!
My three patterns are all fairly simple and the reason for that is that I may be limited on how much I can sew for the next two to three weeks. I’ll tell you more about why later. In no particular order:
McCalls 6842. I currently have a skirt that I bought at a thrift store that is the same style as this pattern. I LOVE that skirt! It is short, flirty and above all comfortable! The fabrics I have selected for it are:
The second option is Kwik Sew 3778:
I’ve had this pattern for a while and haven’t messed with it mostly because I do not like the stiff paper Kwik Sew prints on. I trace my patterns now, but I still dislike handling them. (I know I’m weird)
The fabrics I have set aside for this one are:
The last option is Simplicity 1589:
And the fabric:
Lots of choices for me and some for you! So tell me which pattern you would like to see?
*If I don’t get to this in March it will be the first item I make once I have time to sew.
Loving the skirt, in either of the houndstooths (probably the darker of the two) it will look fabulous and be a great wardrobe staple I think đŸ™‚
I love the skirt as well! If I get to make it for March maybe I can make it again for April’s challenge? đŸ˜‰
I love the flirty skirt! It looks like I’m not alone. I used to have a similar style and I felt so confident and received many compliments. Besides, can anyone have too many flirty skirts?
Never!!!
Was a hard call between the simplicty and the quick sew but ultimately I really love that back cut out. Not sure if you’ve voted yet, but my poll is up on my blog as well, feel free to drop by!

Thanks for the vote! I had to vote for the Cynthia Rowley pattern for you! I love her designs!
Cool! I’ve not sewn one of her patterns yet. We’ll see if it wins, its a close race!
I voted for the simplicity..I love the back of it.
Me too! Thanks for voting!!!
Comfortable it is! I love the skirt.
Herzliche GrĂ¼ĂŸe,

Danke!
I think I’m more excited to see which fabric you go with, although I did vote for Simplicity as a dress.
Even if it doesn’t win, I think I will be making it up eventually.
I love that flirty skirt! I think the 3rd print would be fun! Can’t wait to see what you make!
Thanks!
I went for Kwik Sew in the Chevron fabric!
I picked the skirt in the houndstooth, but both are really good fabrics for the pattern!
Thanks! I’m leaning towards the houndstooth myself. đŸ™‚
Ahh! Hard to choose but I am a total KwikSew fangurl (the first pattern I ever made without my mom supervising as a KwikSew and I think that dress would be amazingly cute for summer! It’s cold but sunny here, and it has me dreaming of warmer days to come.
