....I interrupted all previously scheduled sewing projects to bring you the dress that I've been obsessing about for the past two weeks. I actually should be working on my Vintage 2011 Sew Along skirt. I hadn't mentioned the dress here, but had the pattern at the top of my inspiration pile. This was actually a pretty easy project that I've been wanting to get sewn up since early this week. This dress was actually meant for my Mom, and I had plans for doing one for myself afterward. But after completing it and trying it on myself, I decided that this wouldn't be the dress for Mom after all. (I'll have to choose a different pattern for her.) So this one will be mine and I still plan on making another one in a different fabric.
I used this pattern before to make the sweater cozy 2 years ago, and it that turned out quite well.
SEWING ROOM UPDATE: Still in process. A door and a half, two window sills and carpet cleaning left to complete.
NAMING MY MANIKIN: My manikin finally has a name. My friend Ebony suggested naming her "LADY FAYE" - and so it is. I think that name is all together fitting and proper for her. Thanks Ebony!
And now to return to the regularly scheduled project at hand - my vintage skirt...
I also have this pattern. I need to pull it out now that I've seen yours. The red makes it look so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat color is stunning Faye, I love it!
