Productive...
Jul. 21st, 2010 05:05 pmI sewed two new dresses this weekend. One is red with white polka dots. I created trim for it by layering two simpler pieces a white cotton scallop and a red ribbon. I also used white bias tape to frame the waist piece. It is this Simplicity pattern, Image A. The dept. chair says it looks a little Amish. I'm not sure what to think of that.
The second is in a piece of cotton that resembles a night sky. It is Image A on this pattern--also Simplicity. I made it a little longer.
Both are rather loose with a belt to create a more flattering silhouette. So far the red one is comfortable in the hot office. When I get a chance I'll post pictures.
