Dress Remaking (day one)


I love this dress except that its covered in lemons.
Thus I remake it with scraps from the basement.

Turning the dress into a pattern

remembering to add seam allowances!


Lining fabric too!

Just sew all those pieces together with some clipping, grading and under-stitching. . .

. . . And it starts to look like a bodice.

BAM!

The skirt will need some gathering.

Just such a good day of sewing!
