The fantastic Helen in the UK sent me a link to her gown handle the new look 6515 blouse pattern — isn’t it great? (Now I truly want to make the one I talked about here.)
Helen likewise let slip in her email (but I didn’t pick up on it up until now) that her mom has a material STORE. That is the coolest thing ever.
Anyway, she states this is patterned viscose (that’s rayon to us on this side of the Atlantic) as well as chinese silk, as well as that next time she’ll make the midriff band wider. She likewise stated she made it in two days, however don’t dislike her since she’s skilled as well as the gown is beautiful.
In order to get this effect, not only do you have to put a skirt on the blouse pattern, you likewise have to flip the facings to the outside, which needs a relatively steady hand for the topstitching. But, as you can see, it’s worth it. I truly want to get organized as well as do the paisley one linked above, as well as likewise a liberty one in brown as well as maroon. (Yes, it’s nearly spring, which means I believe it’s a fine time to do a brown as well as maroon wool dress. Me = Idiot. however the heart wants what it wants.)
This makes two gowns influenced (at least in part) by my Duro obsession. (Remember Caroline’s?) keep ’em coming, folks!
