I’m working on finishing up that bubble dress. I still have to finish up the buttons but isn’t it cute? If I do say so myself. I spent most of my weekend doing that and worrying about my mom, who has been really sick. So the dress was a good diversion, I hate being far away from family when stuff like that is going on. It doesn’t help matters that my mom is as stubborn as a mule about going to the doctor and I can’t use my considerable powers of coercion as well via phone. Thankfully I have a new step-dad who is just as Dutch and just as stubborn (ha!)
About the sewing, the pattern was great. This is the first dress I have ever made, so it was challenging for me, no doubt. The pattern was marked as for an advanced beginner. I thought the button placket was going to make me tear my hair out. It isn’t perfect, but not too bad for a first attempt. I’ll get some more shots with my willing model once I have it completely finished. (I tried it on her yesterday and she didn’t want to take it off). I’m so excited for the fall patterns at Oliver + S because I really really want to make the kimono pajamas next.
That dress is adorable!
That is really cute! Nice job!
Too too cute!!! You’re very talented.
