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...

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!
