No, not What I Wore Today. What I’m Working on Today! I’ve been sneaking home at lunchtime to work on a summer dress. Given that it’s been in the upper 70s all week (say whaaaat?), I’ve been in the mood to sew something summery. So I give you my current almost-completed-WIP, McCalls 6506 by Tracy Reese.
Just needs the collar and buttons
I (gasp!) didn’t do a muslin for this one. I’m muslining my Couture Dress, and I just wanted something fast. For those who asked, the fabric that was in my header last is the cotton sateen fabric I’m using here. It’s been sold out since last year, sorry! I’ve been (mostly nicely) admonished for putting fabrics in my header that are either mine alone, neener neener neener, (Oh, did I say that out loud?) or have sold out. So I put up a fabulous French Designer Bouclé for your perusal that is available! I’ll try to do more of that in the future, but I won’t make any guarantees, because I’m eeeeevil!
I hope to have this finished tonight. More later!
It looks lovely! I am not surprised people are asking about that fabric. It’s just perfect for Spring and bang on trend. Since I can’t have the fabric, I’m off to look at the pattern:-)
I love your dress, definitely a summer dress. Sad the fabric is gone though
Oh well, I’ll just keep browsing.
That fabric perfectly compliments that dress pattern – it is going to be so pretty and summery!
It’s so funny, I did take notice of this print in your header a few days ago, and thought, “Oh I like that!” Very good you got a swatch for yourself. The colors are so yummy for summer. The dress is looking great!
Love the placement of the print in the upper bodice. The pocket size is perfect for the bold fabric, too. Lovely!
Ann..that dress is so pretty! I just LOVE the fabric..the colors sing “spring” !
Lovely, lovely dress! I suspect this summer you will have the opportunity to wear it a lot.
