My Dress No. 2 turned out very baggy, errr, flowy. It might just be passable, but I’ll probably ask my sewing and knitting friends to make sure!
Anyway, it is cute, and I learned a few new skills:
Bias tape maker!
Adding a neck edging!
Today, perhaps to recover from the slight disappointment of Dress No. 2, I make another #3a from Simple Modern Sewing, and it turned out as expected, flowing but not too baggy, and comfortable
.
As usual, I added elastic shirring in the back.
Hopefully I will have modeled photos of one or both soon!
I used my bais binding maker for the first time a few days ago. Ahhh, so good! Cant believe I hadnt used one before!!
Riiiight? It’s so handy! I don’t mind doing it without the maker, but all the ironing eventually hurts my wrist, so this is healthier!
