This project was, like all of my projects recently, an experiment in problem-solving. I initially found a dress I was in love with and thought I could make a similar pattern for. But I was severely wrong. From cutting the top of the dress out incorrectly to not thinking through the ramifications of inaccurate angles, it was a rough start.
But in the end, I was able to turn the lining into a slip dress and the top of the failed project into a cute crop top. I used the Blind Stitch on my mother-in-law's machine to create an impeccable finish on both of them as well. Added to one of my circle skirts, and I managed to complete some very usable pieces for my wardrobe.
Be sure to watch the video to see the entire process and panic, and enjoy the photos my partner took!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring journey with a lovely result. The design of your inspiration dress reminds me of a "puffin dress" made by sewist, Clare Bradley. (The fabrics are very different.)That fabric you are using seems like it would have been very slippery, but you seemed to sew it very neatly. Question, have you ever tried a rolled hem presser foot? If so, could you demonstrate how to use it? Great informative video. Thank you!
