Here's the dress from the KwikSew pattern I mentioned in a previous post. I like my fabrics way better than the ones in their photo. It's all done, except that I need to add the buttons and corresponding buttonholes. I have never done this before, so it will be an adventure. One thing I did discover is that Aurifil thread (cotton mako 50) is not really strong enough to do gathering stitches. It's great for other sewing, though. It has hardly any lint, so it's become my favorite piecing thread.

ReplyDeleteThanks! The photo is small because I don't want to use up too much space on Blogger. I'll put a bigger one up on facebook.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Your fabrics are much cuter! Now I HAVE TO make this for my granddaughter - she loves to twirl around in her dresses and this would make a great twirling dress! Thanks for showing it to us!
