But here we have a nice pdf, all ready to go. I do hope that this process goes smoothly. I've only got one shot to get it right...

Dress Up
Sometimes, when you need a simple, armscye-princess seam, sleeveless A-line dress pattern, you get lucky:
I thought I was going to have to hack this from a variety of patterns, for the bridesmaid dress I'm remaking for my sister, given that I never make woven dresses so I have no relevant patterns lying around. The wedding she's going to is on June 7 and I've got to finish this and get it back to North Carolina in time. That means I have to send it back by May 15 at the latest. Don't have time to order a pattern, I thought (given that they all take 2 weeks to arrive, somehow). No pattern stores remain downtown anymore.

result! i'm sure it will be great. i've made the magpie dress from sinbad and sailor before and found it well drafted (but it is a much simpler shape!). i'm definitely going to buy it - i'm sceptical of the fabric requirements tho - i know hannah quite often drafts skirts shorter than i would be happy to wear (but i am tall). i'll be buying some extra fabric in case!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying the pattern so far. Definitely buy it... And yes, she does draft those skirts short...
DeleteI'm sending good vibes your way for your bridesmaid sewing weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm sure it will be great. By the time you're done with it, it will even have great 'hand'. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! We have to hope that miracles can occur...
Deletefrom what i've picked up from others who have made this already, it seems well-drafted. hope all goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteIt is very nicely drafted and the instructions are very good. I recommend it.
DeleteOhhhhh I do like your pattern. I've been thinking about making a nice summery girly dress too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it sweet. I have to make it again - for me!
DeleteIf anyone can pull this out of the bag it's you! Happy sewing.
ReplyDeleteWell, we can hope. And once it's gone in the post, it's out of sight, out of mind :-)
