You may remember the back from this Sleeves On Saturdays post.
What finally prompted me to finish the dress was a challenge at Sew Weekly. For the July 4th holiday, the challenge was to create something red, white, or blue or a combination of all the colors. Lucky me, I had something cut and the dress took me all of about an hour to sew it up. Now surely I have had an extra hour in the last year to get this finished. Oh well, it's finished now and I love it. You can read the Sew Weekly post here.
I'm rather excited now to see what other little gem is languishing in my to do drawer. I do know that there is a wonderful vintage jacket all cut and ready to go and I'm sure that it's a garment that I'll wear and wear.....if only I'll get it finished!
Have a wonderful day.

What a super 'find' in your to-work-on-drawer! The dress looks great on you. I'd be going head first back into that drawer to see what else is hiding, just waiting to be made up...

No you're not the only one who starts something then leaves it - with every intention of finishing it but never just getting round to it....this looks like a really comfy dress that's stylish too. Did you match up the pattern at the seams? Sorry, only another sewer looks for things like that.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty dress. Big prints are so stylish. I didn't think "red, white, blue" when I looked at it, but it does fit the criteria. As always, beautiful sewing.
ReplyDeleteOh come on Rhonda, you are not the only one! :D Very nice dress and top!
ReplyDeleteOh, it is so pretty. I love the fabric and it looks wonderful on you.
