Sew Perfect for Every Body!

I am having difficulty with my sight. I really cannot see well at all. I cannot see well enough to sew. After a doctor appt i will return.

In my last post I am sure you notice the pattern I used and the dress I made the neckline was different. If I did not mention this I am sorry. In the November issue of Threads magazine there is an article on Reshape a Neckline and I decide to do this on three dresses using the same pattern. Last night as I reread the article I can tell there is something I just fortunate turn out well for me. I did not make a sloper of the new neckline so that I could use it again. As you can see the Simplicity pattern has a jewel neckline, on my first dress I made a V neckline. So I will have to make a sloper of the new neckline out of some muslin fabric that I have. The article pointed out when changing the width of the neckline you should account for the bra strap positioning to prevent the straps from interfering with a neckline. Put on the bra you plan to wear with the garment, drape the pattern on your body and mark the bra straps’ position on the pattern’s shoulder line. Oops did not

This is the patter n that I used to make my dress.  I am  not a very good model at this time i n my life.   As you ca n see  I cha nged the  neckli ne a nd made it a maxi dress.  Also I added width to the sides I wa nted full ness at the  bottom.

 I decided that I wanted to duplicate this dress by Bily Reid  fall 2013 collection. There was a favorite dress I had, at least 30 years ago, it was a blue paid and when I saw this  Bily Reid  dress  I remembered how it felt to wear that dress and I wanted to feel that again. I search and search but could not find a picture of the dress without the coat. So I drew my version of the dress .   I have to apoligize for all the links for so reasons I cant get the pictures to  post. I do not know why I wanted to have the touch of red with the grey plaid but it is what I felt at the time that I drew the picture. I search my stash of fabric because I am not allow to purchase more until I use what I have (silly self-impose rule). But I found the right fabric and the right lining for it. I really did jump up and down with excitement. My pattern was extremely simple I add a wedge of fabric at the sides with increased the volume of the dress.  This will give the effect I wa
