We headed to the beach this morning for a chilly photo shoot... a little dress hot off the sewing machine.
It's Burda 9503, and the fabric is some beautiful Liberty babycord I got from the Fabrics Galore stand at the Knitting and Stitching Show. Their stand (or stands, as they had two this year) was amazing! The most exciting fabrics at discount prices. They have a shop in South London too.
There aren't really that many long sleeved dress patterns around. I hadn't used a Burda Pattern before and found it a little unclear at times... I ad-libbed a bit on the button placket and I messed up the sleeve cuffs, but hey, I don't think it looks too bad! I've already cut out another version in some different fabric.
(Don't worry, we headed indoors for hot chocolate straight after).
Great dress - i'd like a long sleeved cord dress for winter too I think!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I've got the lovely Tova pattern from Wiksten to make for myself x
