I did get a little sewing done this weekend. Didn't get anything finished but I thought I would show you a few pictures of what I'm working on...the dress is from an out of print Vogue pattern 8343 using a brown knit and some black faux leather.
It's almost completed...I only need to add some hems and tack the turtleneck part down. I didn't include a hanger shot of the dress because it is just so unappealing on the hanger...it looks like a brown robe with some leather. However, I've tried it on and it looks so much better on me so hopefully pics of me wearing the finished dress next weekend...
...as always more later!
Back zipper, turtleneck and seam tape on shoulder seams
Fusible interfacing on side seams
Close up of interfacing strips fused to side seam
Sleeve with faux leather added to it
