I saw this fabric at the store and thought it was super fun! I love the Tiffany blue and chocolate combination.
I got all of my materials laid out, cut out my pieces, and got started! I decided to start with the assembly of the top, because it can be a little tricky to sew.
Pulling the fabric through that tiny little ring and stitching it on evenly AND straight...kind of a nightmare. But it's worth it!
Love it!! One neatly sewn piece of fabric on a metal ring...this could come in handy with a lot of projects.
I gathered the back next by sewing a casing for my elastic and threading it through. This ended up being way too long, too much fabric, etc. This is one place I had to make some serious adjustments, and I'm still not totally happy with it.
I sewed my top piece onto the front dress piece next, just to get a good judge of length and how it would look.
I sewed the who dress together then realized that it didn't fit right. This is where pinning and trying things on is a good idea. Oh well....I was feeling a little brave that day! That's what my handy-dandy seam ripper is for! I'll be posting more pictures once I get the dress to where I want it to be...and of course a picture of me wearing it!
