The Coco Dress

I had high hopes for this pattern,

that I finally finished.......The "Coco Dress" using New Look 6145 pattern.

I saw this pattern a year ago  & hum & hahd even though I quited like
the simple style of this dress.  When the pattern went on sale for  $1.50
it was a no brainer to purchase it.

I did a lace hem adding that special touch.
I did have a few fit issues.

Hospital gown comes to mind.....

Oh & zipper issues.  Trying to be cool & not insert
an invisible zip but a contrasting one.

Trying to make this work but I know the next time I sew this pattern
I will go down a size.  The fabric is a cotton stretch which even though
pressed well....does not look it.
I did wear this to the office so not a total loss!

Sew you later.

from my dressing room.....

Rain has descended on Vancouver after a month 

hot hot heat so it is a high heeled boot 

kinda of day.

 



I did some seams on the serger with this dress.

Sew you later.

Blue Marine Dress.....inspiration.

The design for this dress has been in

my mind for a couple of years 

when I saw this dress from 

Blue Marine.

I made a summer version with short sleeves
using a New Look 6936 pattern.
I omitted the tie gathering at the
upper bodice.

The fabric is a jersey/knit that I found
at Laura's Fashion Fabric in White Rock BC.
& as this is a very easy pattern only
a couple of hours to finish.
This was another dress that was
tossed into a pile to be finished
from last year!

Sew you later!

iDesigned a Dress

I am finally finding a 

little time to finish up

some sewing projects

that I started last summer! 

Seriously....this was cut out 

& pinned.

This dress iDesigned from
leftover cotton fabric &
thread.  I really hate to
waste thread that is
sometimes left on the
spool so this
dress has pink, turquoise,
white & black threads.
I also made back darts,
elastic gathering
with a simple shift
style front.

I will be wearing this
dress on my
Fashion Friday Runway
post.

Sew you later!
