The sewing dress



It is named this because of the sewing notions on the bodice,
& I finally made it into a dress!  New Look 6934 pattern.



I have had this fabric for about 5 years now & the skirt part
is a white circle upholstery fabric that I made pillows for our RV more than
10 years ago.


I used a cotton silk for the lining, leftover from my beach cover up.


An easy dress to make & I have made it many times, 
but I always forget about
the bodice lining...how to match up correctly...
maybe next time I will remember!


I used a contrast Tiffany blue zipper....well, because I
love contrast!

 Lucinda my new mannequin is
 modeling it for me.

mini-me sews



Mini-me & I are off to Europe in a few weeks so we
 have started to sew some garments for our trip.
She saw that I had all this fabric & wanted to design 
her own dress!


She picked this pink polka dot fabric & a little Spring 
time sateen for her design.


She sewed the skirt part & she asked for help with the stretchy polka
dot fabric.  I used a zig zag stitch of course.


I also serged the seams in tangerine because I still have not
changed the thread.......I know so bad.


This is her design....not bad for for a teen & so like her....original!  She plans on 
wearing this in France with a Beret.

Sew you later!
