I've decided to make March's Garment of the Month Challenge a little easier than my February one (which still isn't completed). Using Simplicity 2369 - I will make a knee length, mock-wrap dress with the longer sleeves. I have some great knit in my stash already - it's black with white circles on it that I picked up at Mill End Fabrics in Reno last summer.
I will change the style from a straight dress to one with more of a flare at the bottom though - I tend to like that style a little better. So it's off to pattern altering I go!
Happy Sewing!
Pretty fabric and should be a fun dress to wear.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara. If I remember correctly, I paid $3.00 per yard for that fabric so it will be an inexpensive dress as well!
DeleteReally like your fabric! I have this pattern, can't wait to see how yours turns out. I bet its going to be super cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote of confidence Remembering...Oz.
DeleteI like the idea of the flare, I have this same pattern that I'm doing for another challenge this month, I think for MAGAM I'm going to make easy pj's lol!

Good luck with the pj's. I thought after my February disaster that I would keep it simple this month as well.
DeleteI have this pattern too, but haven't made anything from it yet. Very much looking forward to seeing how your dress works up. The fabric is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. I'm hoping to complete it soon.
