So here is my second project, which took longer then a week. So for starters my sister asked me to make her a dress that she could wear while she is working. My sister is a professional photographer and so she needed room to move, arm holes that did not hinder or restrain her from doing her fantastic job. If you want to take a peak at her work, check her out at
Julie K Photo, you might get lucky and catch a shot of her working in her dress.
Anyway, she lives in California so I put the dress on my form and took the shot!
The fabric was mean! I will say this, using polyester silk is not for regular sewing machines without the right feet for hemming or a serger. There I said it. I am so glad I was able to solve the problems that the material presented but I would rather work with natural fibers, especially after this one.
So here it is...
 |
| Multi Color Poly |
|
|
I got the pattern from a Simple sew shirt/blouse idea and I just added length and some width to get the dress length. That was the easy part and it was fun to watch it slowly take shape.
 |
| Dark Blue Ribbon on bottom hem and sleeve hem |
|
 |
| Dark Ribbon Tie |
|
 |
| Elastic neckline |
So hopefully I will have dress/skirt number three up in the next day or so and then onto number 4!
