Hello! More pics from my vacation, this time in Canada and a new dress that is soft and comfy! We visited the Capilano Suspension Bridge, which was a bit frightening but also very beautiful.
Fabric
McCall’s 7083 in Dotted Swiss
StandardLately I’ve been looking for patterns that are a D cup or larger so I’ve been willing to make anything, like this dress. I don’t love it and I won’t wear it again.
BlueGingerDoll Odette in Yellow Flowers
StandardThis is actually the wearable muslin of the swan Odette with a dirndl skirt because I didn’t have enough fabric, of course!
My Latest Love: BlueGingerDoll Odette
StandardI’ve been a fan of BlueGingerDoll since the release of Bonnie and Violet so I was really excited to find the Odette pattern on Craftsy’s Website. With the exception of some fitting issues, I LOVE THIS DRESS. I love it so much I have 2 more coming your way, with different changes each time.
Simplicity 8096 Amazing Fit Alphabet Dress
StandardSince I made my shirtdress, I’ve been inspired to just “go for it” and step out of my knit comfort zone. I’m so glad that I did! Introducing my $5 dress made from a thrift store bed sheet and pillowcase.
McCalls 6696 Shirt Dress
StandardHappy Monday! For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to make this dress but have been too afraid of it because:
- It’s not a knit.
- There’s buttons AND a collar!
- It’s a dress, not a skirt.
Although it’s by no means perfect, I’m SO PROUD of myself for finishing the dress in a weekend and not giving up. It was a very frustrating experience but it has inspired me to keep trying!
RTW Skirt Copy
StandardHello all! I actually made this skirt over a year ago and came across it while I was organizing my new sewing corner in my bedroom. Pics to come soon!
Rayon Floral Dirndl=Happiness
StandardI’ve FINALLY made a skirt that isn’t cotton! Quilting cotton is so easy to sew but i just LOVE the lightness and feel of this rayon fabric. SUCH SOFTNESS.
Dark Grey Gertie Sweetheart Knit Top
Standard
Yet another Gertie Sweetheart knit top…I can’t help myself(sorry not sorry). This pattern has been so good to me!
Heart Circle Skirt
StandardI’m not a Valentine’s Day person by any means but I LOVE hearts! You bet your @$$ that I will wear this skirt year around. I combined two of my most favorite things; vibrant prints and circle skirts!!
