I used Simplicity 2255 and made a size 8 without any adjustments. I made View A and left off the side tabs and ruffle detail. Too busy with the butterflies.
I really am trying to work on clean finishes so I used french seams. Yes, it is more time consuming, but the end product really is more satisfying, don't you agree? And I chose a lime green single fold bias tape for the armholes.
Hopefully now that I am into the swing of school my posts won't be so few and far between!!
And finally, a moment of zen...I snapped this picture at midnight the other day. I don't know about you, but for me, there is nothing quite like a sleeping house, a fantastic Pandora station, and the whir of my sewing machine...
That butterfly fabric is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary:)
DeleteI can see why you fell in love with that fabric. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow - that's beautifully made! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHello! Maybe you don't recall but just in case...is there a trick to sewing the neckband in place? My neckband is MUCH too short for the neckline of my shirt.
ReplyDeleteAlmost a year later, had you ever figured the neckband out? I am having the same trouble!!
DeleteYour pictures have really inspired me!! I am currently making this in a polka dot fabric with capped sleeves, and like u am aiming for a very neat finish although I am a newbie sewer. I also found neckband much too short but guess this is just my inexperience so I simply cut a larger one lol!! Hope to finish this weekend. Thank u for the inspiration xx
