This little number I have had finished for about three months. I have been doing a lot of sewing , but I am so bad at posting. Life has been very busy at the Hunter house. My grandson left for the MTC in Provo Utah on the 30th of March. He is doing so well and loves it there. He is learning mandarin Chinese , and will be leaving to go to San Francisco the last of June. I am going to miss him so much!!!
Now back to sewing. I bought this double knit online from Fabric.com. It was perfect for this type of dress. It worked up super quick and is so comfy.

| The back tab. I almost didn't put this on. But it would have been very boring without it. I did cut it down about 5/8 ' al the way around. Topped it off with two buttons from my stash. |
 |
| I think if I make this again , I would add two inches to the cowl neck. It seems a little skimpy. |
 |
| I top stiched the hem . I've got a lot more to post if I can get my act together. this dress was fun and I might make it again in a black and gray double knit. |
Very pretty! Nice colour and style. It's too hot to wear it here right now, but it will be great to have it waiting for the Autumn!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful rendition of this pattern.
ReplyDeleteThat's very pretty. It's an unusual color, and delightful! Yes, you will miss your son. It's hard to let them go.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Such a lovely color.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress too. I love the color you chose.
ReplyDeleteI made mine in black but haven't posted pictures yet. I also thought of leaving out the tab in the back but I like this detail so did put mine on too. I found it a little big so I also downsized it and like how it looks.
Very pretty dress! I hope you show us some more of your creations soon!
ReplyDeleteLove that color!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI ordered my 2 Japanese pattern books from yesasia.com - here's a link to the dress book:

They cost around $25 each (not counting shipping).
All the best,
