I have a very basic sewing machine and I think that even a beginning seamstress will love making this dress.
I found some small white buttons my mother must have purchased years ago in the sewing box I inherited when she passed away. They are the perfect size for this dress!
This is a dress pattern I know I will use again. I love that you can dress it up or down and change it's look completely with just changing the fabric and trims.
I recommend this pattern that you can purchase from Liberty Jane here a great deal as patterns are only $3.99
As with all my posts I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com
the dress is perfect for Valentine's Day and even for Christmas or school days but it needs a little something on the collar and at the "waistline". A black belt and a heart would do it, I would think. It looks unfinished as it is IMO. I would also make the next one a tad shorter.
ReplyDeleteA gold broach on the side of the collar would also make it into a serious occasion dress up outfit.
I wish I could sew.
Great job Karen! I have a basic machine too so I always like to hear other people's experiences with patterns before I buy them. My sewing skills are limited to what I learned in home ec in high school LOL.
ReplyDeleteI got myself Emily with Christmas money so I want to make some of those heritage patterns from Liberty Jane. I am busy building my 1940's kitchen display first though. Well to be honest I am supervising my husband's building :)
Like Jen said, Great job! It looks perfect!
