| Vogue 8788 from Vogue Patterns Website |
Anyway - I got the new issue of Vogue Patterns and I'm really wanting to make Vogue 8788. I see it in one of the Lisette Fabrics. It's not a gathered skirt, so I think it will work and it resembles the super popular 'walk away dress'.
I have a few more 'crafty projects' hanging over my head that have a quick turn around and then it's garment sewing for me. My closet needs some new blood as spring approaches.
Looks retro. My Mom had several dresses in that style when I was a kid. I asked her to save them for me when I grew up. She didn't, but I probably couldn't wear that style anyway. I sure did love them in floral prints.
ReplyDeleteI purchased some fabric for a dress last spring, and it is still in the bag with the pattern, thread, etc. I need to decide to make the dress or use the fabric for something else. ;oD
ReplyDeleteThank you for the quilt blocks. I hope you are pleased with how I put them together. The second one will be posted tomorrow.
ooh, pretty dress !
ReplyDeleteI've been buying patterns and doing a lot of thinking about sewing but no actual sewing going on here. Soon...
oops - forgot about the quilt - BEAUTIFUL !
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is stunning.
ReplyDeleteMy mother had a blue dress of a similar fashion. She only had two dresses I remember admiring as a child... that blue one and an emerald green sheath.
It should work great, since it's not gathered! I think a floral would be just wonderful - maybe something in daisies?
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your quilt blocks as they are assembled. You did a wonderful job, as did Nancy.
How fortunate you are to be able to sew! I've recently discover a near (sorta) quilting shop and they offer sewing lessons for $10/hr and you can use their machines. I love all the bolts of fabric they have - it's all organized by time periods and begins with "poison" greens which apparently were greens that used to poison the dyers. A morbid but fascinating tidbit offered by the shopkeeper. One day I'd like to sign up (not for the dying - the sewing).
