OK - so I finally managed to find a spare hour to finish off this dress. I am loving it, (even if there are quite a few imperfections - don't zoom in)! Having taught myself to sew I am not one to read patterns, but I vowed I would follow this one so feel quite proud of myself. I have to admit, I sewed together, then completely unpicked the yoke before sewing it again, as I got into a bit of a mess with it. But all in all it has come out ok. (I even had to do buttonholes!)
PATTERN: New Look 6903
SIZE: Large
VIEW: A (dress)
FABRIC: Beige baby corduroy for dress and yoke/trim, buttons from vintage stash.
*Note: I modified the pattern somewhat, left off the pocket and used a handmade bias for the trim rather than ruffle as per the pattern.
Its beautiful! I know what you mean about not usually following patterns - I find them a nightmare!

I know what you mean about patterns, we not very good friends.

ReplyDeleteI know Megan, isn't the fabric just gorgeous! It is the softest piece of vintage cotton... only just enough too! I love the mis-registration of the vintage prints, and the colours are just divine!
This is so completely cute! The colours are beautiful and that trim is so sweet! Good job :)
