Finished and I am exhausted. This round was a tough one and I have put a lot of hours into this dress. So I am not going into details here, but will put up a few photos. If you want more info on this dress, you can find them here in my entry review.
The theme... "A day at the races"
The fabric I started with - green linen from a swap table at the Brisbane Spoolettes high tea 2014.
The embellishment process... lots of careful marking, pressing and lots of thread!
The pattern - Ottobre 02/2015-04 - modified to remove the waist seam.
The front panel being cut out - had to be cut full, not on the fold.
The dress lining - not part of the pattern... needed to do a little research on that before starting...
the dress finished....
and the back...
and in amongst all that I made a muslin and plenty of embellishment samples. Enough sewing for now... now to wait on tenterhooks to see if I get into round 3 ... and what it will be!!
Ciao kittens...
