I guess I have been in a sewing mood lately, Here is a project I finished a couple of weeks ago. I made a dress out of a skirt pattern..... If that makes any sense. Well what I did was I took a skirt pattern and because I didn't have a shirt to do with it I decided to make a dress by making my own pattern (from other patterns I have seen) for the bodice.
As you can see in the title I made this dress for two occations, One was our Church Heritage Weeekend English Country Dance and the other was for my Aunts wedding! Well here are some pitcures of the steps and the dress!Here is the skirt pattern and the fabric I used
Here is the skirt part cut out
After I cut Out the skirt and got it put together, I made the bodice and attached it to the skirt, leaving one side open for a zipper, then I added the straps, using ribbon with lace sewed onto it.
Though I don't have any pitcures with me wearing the dress I hope you get the idea of what it looks like. I had fun, making this summer dress and I am already planning my next crafty project.

Wow I feel like such a slacker since you have already posted two things but its kinda hard to post if you don't have anything to post about... anyway it was a really cute dress!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, don't feel that way. I understnd you have a busy life and it is hard to either start a project or blog about it. You will be able to make some posts soon, as things slow down and it gets closer to Christmas and Birthdays!
