Summery Dress


Managed a bit more sewing last week and knocked up (yeah - like it was so quick!) this round neck dress with some old fabric that was lying around begging to be made into something. It only took one night, and I did have to unpick a few times after sewing the fabric with wrong sides together (oops)... twice (duh?).

As you can see, I haven't quite finished the buttonholes yet, but I had to get something new onto this blog! It is supposed to be tracking my sewing after all. And please excuse the cheap plastic coat hanger, totally ruined my artsy shot - Mick would hang his head. I was very pleased with the outcome, and just love the blue flowery fabric, and so does Harper.

Found this pattern here via those inspiring ladies in the newbie sewers forum. Thanks girls, it was a winner and can't wait to try out some more fabric combos in this dress style x

Love you dress. I also have this pattern but haven't got round to sewing one up yet. I was going to start with the top version.

The dress is gorgeous, and I love the artsy shot plastic hanger and all.
