Hi friends! Oh boy, this week's Sew Weekly challenge has been 'fun' and 'interesting'! The theme is 'Stash Busting: A pattern and fabric you've had for a while and not used', and I got a little fixated on the 'how long it's been in my stash' part of this challenge. I've posted a bit of 'frustrated' info during my blog post over at Mena's blog but pretty much it's a fun looking dress, but not a fun practical dress.
FUNNY! It's now the fifth or sixth theme week, so I'm pretty happy I haven't fucked up anything too badly, but it isn't a dress I'd like to put on all the time. I might give it a wash and see if it softens up a bit (it's kinda floaty and electric in the skirt).
OMG what a shapely bot! ANYWAYS, like I said, I got fixated on using the things I've had for the longest time, instead of perhaps pairing things that really work together. There's certainly some things I need to learn about fabric, perhaps there's so Spotlight or Lincraft 'Know Your Fabric' kinda courses?
Best, Veronica xoxo
You could always pop into Tessuti and i could answer any questions you have :)
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI think this dress looks adorable!
I love it! It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAlso meant to say that Thread Den on Brunswick St do classes learning about the different fabrics -- they take you up to The Fabric Shop to go through them all. Think they're about $40?
ReplyDeleteWell I love it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it just needs a petticoat under to help with the electricity and floatiness?
perfect!!!! i think it looks practical, too, like a wardrobe staple but so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI agree! The dress and your hair are fantastic. I hope a wash helps. Maybe washing it in wool wash or something would help soften it up a bit, depending on what type of fabric it is? The buttons are a perfect touch. I've been using thrifted craft supplies lately too. It's a great feeling. :)
