I've cut out and started sewing the Classix Nouveau Primavera Dress. That's the facing in the pic above.
As you can see by this pic below, taken just minutes ago, I haven't gone very far. I kind of wussed out in the sewing room yesterday and instead did some reading. But I am planning on sewing more now and later tonight, and hopefully I'll be taking this dress with me next week to my mom's.
The fabric is a recent buy from Gorgeous Fabrics, and there are still 6 yards left. Hurry! ;-) Of course I'll smack myself for giving that link if I screw up my dress and need more fabric.
That's about all I have for today. Two days of workout video have made me a very slow moving … hmmm, … what? Snail? Sloth? Tortoise? Komodo dragon? I think I need help on that description from Patty the Snug Bug because apparently even my brain is slow today. ;-)

Very nice fabric.
ReplyDeletei just made this dress a few days ago! my advice -- use the zip. also, the v is pretty low. i honestly don't know if the finished dress fits me. i prolly should have done a FBA, but i was cranking it out to enter in the state fair. i did manage to squeeze just the top on, and it was a wiggle, hence my advice to use the zip. it was judged today, third place!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing where you purchased your fabric. The only thing that makes me crazy when I read your posts, is not knowing where you get your fabric. Our tastes are pretty similar.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric! I'm curious to know your experiences with Hot Patterns, as I like their designs but find them intimidating. I'll be following this dress with interest.
ReplyDeleteNice fabric. I'm glad to learn there's more to the dress than what you showed.
