I have this theory, or perhaps it's more of a superstition, about fabric, that once I make a wadder out of a particular piece of fabric, that fabric is doomed--anything else I try to make from it will also be a wadder.
I really hope that's not the case with this fabric. Here's a new attempt at using this fabric.
So on Friday morning I had the idea to make a vest out of the argyle Mood fabric. This morning I cut out the vest, held it up to me, and thought, hrm....dress??? But a whole dress out of argyle would be a bit much...and I don't have enough of the fabric anyway to make a dress now that I've cut it...so I google image searched "argyle dress" and from some of the pix, came up with this idea:
Right now it's basted together in a "I must know now before my head hits the pillow if this is going to work or not..." I can see where it needs tweaking, and I think I have some solutions. So I'm thinking, tmw morning I will rip it apart and properly sew it, fixing the little problems as I go....
It's not quite a frankenpattern--it's not combining two patterns--it's more like a mutant of one pattern. It's NewLook 6071, but the upper front and top of the upper skirt are morphed to what you see here.
I really hope it works out.
Be well and good night!
That combination is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice! By the way, I would totally make an entire dress out of that lovely fabric, like a slim fitting, long sleeved mini-dress with a cowl neckline.
ReplyDeleteI LIKE it!
ReplyDeleteWow Kyle. A meetup sounds so intriguing, and the 21st will be on a Saturday. I'm not sure I could make it, but I will start planning to that end. I'll let you when we get closer to April. Thanks so much for the invite!!!
