So, sew-a-longs. I think I like them.
This is the third sew-a-long I have participated in. The first was for a Japanese pattern that I had been wanting to sew, the second was for a Modkid bag that I wanted to try, and now, a sew-a-long for a dress pattern that I meant to get when it was released originally - The Avery Dress from Modkid.
A drop waist - yes, please. Seemed pretty simple. So, I bought the pattern and joined in. But, for some reason, I couldn't choose fabric....
Then, I remembered the lovely Liberty of London lawn that my oldest son brought me back from his Europe trip last summer....and, being daring, I cut into the Liberty...
Here's the result:
Enough pictures??!!
The dress has a lined bodice, and a bunch of options - sleeveless, long sleeves, or these super-cute puff short sleeves. Knowing my child, I made sure that the elastic was very, very loose or she would never wear them. There's also a cute little pocket which I intended to add, but I lost it and didn't find it until the dress was put together.....next time....because there will surely be a next time for this pattern!
