Everyone knows that color blocking has been very popular for several seasons. Lately in my travels through designer sites, I've noticed this trend that I'm calling "Print Blocking." Here are some examples...

Of course this meant some scrounging around in my fabric collection to see if I had some comparable fabrics. This combo features a brown/purple print ponte knit from Mood with a brown ponte knit from the collection. Beautiforius, right Marcy! ;)

I had the red ponte knit in my collection that is left over from making The Macy's Dress. I'm combining it with a new purchase that I'd seen online and remembered as soon as I saw the Calvin Klein dress. So you know I bought two yards with a quickness and a hurry to make my version of the CK dress.

My excitement for these dresses have bumped the DL jacket & dress. I will work on these dresses this weekend from TNT dress patterns. The CK dress will be made using my TNT dress pattern with a few changes made to the pattern. The Erdem interpretation will be made using Butterick 5679. I mean it's SuperBowl weekend, no one will be around to do things with so I will have the weekend to myself to sew, sew, sew!
These will be palette cleansers to help renew my sewing aura that was badly damaged and inflicted with so much pain from the last jacket make. I need a little fashion forward dress sewing to restore my sewing faith! *LOL*
I know I'm changing my mind about the sewing order of my next couple of garments but it's "My Prerogative!"
...as always more later!
...from Erdem's Pre-Fall 2013 Collection...
This from Calvin Klein that I found on MyHabit.com...
