I finished my first "proper" sewing project just before Christmas. This is the skirt I made during my dressmaking lessons. My teacher was fantastic and at the end of the term I felt I'd learned a lot :-)
Since then I've made a Waldorf birthday crown for Little B, lots of Christmas present bags and lots of storage bags for toys.
But now I'm itching to sew more clothes and one of my Christmas presents were some vouchers for fabric. So I've been working on this shirred top / dress. I'm just getting the shaping right for the bottom section before I decide whether it will be a short dress or top. Or I may even keep it as a dress for a while, the make it into a top. This is sewing at it's easiest as I bought the cotton already shirred :-)
I have a new kindy backpack to make for Little B.
I fell in love with this fabric but they only had 1.5 metres left (which of course I bought LOL). Originally I was inspired to make a dress from Peppermint Magazine. I've cut out the free pattern but I think somehow it's wrong (the pattern not my cut out). Or at least the way they want you to cut the fabric is wrong - you cut the back and half the front out along the selvedge and the remaining front half across the grain?? Hmmm something not quite right there.
That is super cute! Love the fabric...
ReplyDeleteI also love the fabric. Good to hear you've joined the SIOL challange. I am already having fun. Except for the moment today when I had Indigo in the Bjorn and I felt a warm splat splat on my toes- she had poonamied all over my pants and shoes!! So much for a decrease in laundry!! xx m.
