The day started out as usual, but before I knew it, I had a napping boy, time on my hands, and an irresistible urge to see myself a Star Wars dress! I wanted to have something geeky to wear if we make it to Maker Faire this year, and of course I had to make it myself!!
The pattern is the same as my previous two dresses. I am enjoying the feeling of doing it several times until I really understand what I’m doing, and I also love how comfortable this style is! Good bye, jeans and t-shirts! Hello, dresses and leggings!
I didn’t have enough of this cool spaceship fabric to make a nice A-line, so I made up for it by improvising some generous side slits. I also shirred the back like I did with my bird dress to get rid of the bulk in the back. It still has one poofy area around the waist, I’ll see if I can live with it, or if I’ll have to fix it.
Sorry for the yellow night photo… I was too excited to wait for better lighting!
And here’s a silly partial selfie view!
It’s comfy! And I may or may not have ordered special leggings to wear with it….
👍😁
what an awesome dress! 🙂
Great dress 😉 I wish you were living next door to me so you could make stuff for me, too….lol. Well done!
🙂 But you make lovely things, too!!
Awww…thank you 🙂 I haven’t made anything in like 4 months. I think I’ve got the creativity blues…lol.
