I have now completed my second version of the vintage pattern. I enjoy the drape of the sleeves in this version made of rayon challis and the lightness; it will make a nice summer dress when the weather warms up even more.
This went much faster than the first dress but I had a hiccup with the zipper. Oh, those stubborn zippers. I thought I had it in the correct way to be zipped properly, but no, I had it in backwards. I guess it is more of a silly me than those stubborn zippers.
I wish I could have taken these pictures outside, but when I took them it was around 9 PM and I had to do the self timer. Maybe another day (I still need to take pictures of my pants full length also!!).
With this little number done, I am going to start work on the Beignet skirt. I went ahead and picked a black fabric instead of a bright color or bold print; I wanted to be able to wear it with just about anything and not be bogged down with a certain type of top to wear it with if it had a bold pattern. I do have two yards of a fun print that I may use for a second, more fun, version…we shall see about that.
What else should I add on my list in these last few days of Me-Made-May? If I could at least have enough to make it with one me-made item each day, I would be content. What have you created lately or do you have your wardrobe planned out for Me-Made-May if you are participating?
You did such a beautiful job! I love it!
Thank you so very much!
So pretty! You did a lovely job. Isn’t it awesome to sew something twice, it is always faster the second time.
For Me-Made-May, my biggest worry is not having the basics! I have lots of printed dresses and skirts, but I seem to pass on sewing basics and solids. If you make a black skirt, then you’ll have an easy basic piece that can be worn different ways. Same with your cute high-waisted pants, they’re so versatile!
I totally don’t have my wardrobe planned and am going to wing it! (Hopefully I can squeeze out a few more projects in the next two weeks..) Good luck!
Beautiful job!! The fabric is so lovely. The dress looks great!
