Same dress different attitude...

Those of you that have been following me... know that I am new to Blogging...  I jumped in with both feet... By opening up myself to you, I have also opened up so many more crafting connections... Around the time I started blogging, I also joined a couple Flickr groups (Have you checked out Flickr yet?) I have really enjoyed seeing the talent and creativity that's out there...  The inspiration for my project this week, came from the SewLisette group... It is a dress I've made before... but when I saw fellow member Katyhew made the same dress in corduroy...  I could not believe such a simple change could make it look so different, and I knew I absolutely needed one too!

The pattern... Simplicity #2245... portfolio dress
Here is the first one I made... it was spring... so my wardrobe was blooming too...

The Fall version... I have a slight confession to make... this is not vintage fabric... I know, I know... I'm always talking about vintage, but this has been in my cupboard for at least 5yrs and it was speaking to me...


The dress on... can I just mention that I hate having my picture taken... so awkward...

There are two options for the sleeve... I really like the cuffed version...
 
I was able to still add a touch of vintage(of course!) with these buttons...
 So that was my project this week...   I'm super excited about my next project, and can't wait to get started... so check back soon!  Have a good weekend...

  1. Very nice. I have this pattern, but a fabric still hasn't spoken to me to inspire me to actually make it. Yours is fantastic!
