This is a great pattern--you can choose a skirt cut on the straight grain or on the bias. And leaving off the huge pockets, I squeezed it out of two and a half yards (still wondering why I bought so little!). I also like that your dress totally depends on your fabric choice. Fresh cotton print? A casual morning or house dress. Rayon or silk? Add little gloves and go to a shower.
We're staying home and making peach pie in this version.
Very cute! How are y'all so skinny! Green with envy here as I have gained 50 pounds since ankle surgery and I was already 20 pounds overweight. I thought maybe it was genetic, though I know you run yet you eat pies. Apparently not.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And the peach pie sounds lovely, too :)
ReplyDeleteSo, so cute!
ReplyDeleteVery fresh and lovely!
Enjoy your pie!

That's a lovely design! Her collar doesn't look as wide as the sketch on the envelope - did you have to alter it?

So it's the dress we've seen a sneak peek of! I like the huge orange buttons mirroring the orange in the print. It's details like that that make your creations what they are (what we all admire).
ReplyDeletea very classy look for a young lady.
ReplyDeleteWhat I meant was the neckline - not the collar, per se.

Oh, so pretty. Your work is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I think you're right that the dress looks different from the illustration. I didn't mess with the neckline, and it's not as low as in the picture. That would have been a tricky alteration.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! I love the contrasts in that second picture. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love it, great job!
ReplyDeleteAnna, is there some way to find this pattern, or is just a stroke of luck that you stumbled upon this during one of your thrifting days? I tried online, but maybe I just don't know where/how to find it...we love the pattern :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy
An online search is my best advice--it will probably pop up eventually. Good luck!
