{Procession Dress: Part Three}

March 31, 2017 by kelerr

Having cut out the interfacing, I can move on with the dress progress.  Checking the directions, I didn’t need to put interfacing in the yoke so it turns out, there’s no harm done.  Just goes to show, even if you’ve made the pattern before you need to double check the directions. Cutting and ironing the interfacing.  One happy thing that happened as a result of my small mistake was I discovered I have a giant roll of interfacing in my […]

Procession Dress: Part Two

March 30, 2017 by kelerr

A free day at home this past Saturday meant I could get a good start on the Procession Dress, which I think needs a new name (this one bores me), but that’s a different issue.  In any case, regardless of name, I managed to make my way through most of the bodice. Working on the darts and putting the bodice front pieces together.  The way the characters lost their heads in the top dart is a little strange but not […]

Procession Dress: Part One

March 27, 2017 by kelerr

While waiting on a zipper for my Queen Anne Dress, I decided to get started on my next project.  I’m calling this one the procession dress, named after the fabric.  The fabric, of course, came from Rifle Paper Company (the obsession is fierce people!) and their new Wonderland Collection.  It features all the characters of Wonderland in a procession… hence, the name. Today was all about planning and cutting. I’m using the same pattern as the Flamingo dress, however this time I’m […]

Queen Anne Dress: Part Four

March 22, 2017 by kelerr

In part four of the Queen Anne Dress, I tackle the skirt.  Above you see the skirt front, the oldest nice and pressed.  Only a fellow sewing nerd would understand the satisfaction of a nicely pressed pleat! And here’s the skirt front, done (aside from hemming) and awaiting the back. Attaching the pocket pieces.  Another dumb move on my part was not cutting four pocket pieces even though I’ve done this before and knew I needed to.  Being out of […]

Queen Anne Dress: Part Three

March 17, 2017 by kelerr

We had our second snow day of the school year the other day and other than continuing my marathon of eating leftover birthday party food, it was a cozy day at home.  I don’t know why I love sewing on a snow day.  I open the blinds and watch the snow fall while I work at the sewing machine. My first order of business was to cut the lining.  I didn’t really have a complimentary fabric to use so I […]

Queen Anne Dress: Part Two

March 15, 2017 by kelerr

Made some small progress on the dress today. Making the first stitches on the bodice front. Pinning together the bodice front and bodice side pieces. The bodice front done! Bodice back pieces done. Sewing the bodice back pieces to the bodice front.  The picture of them put together looks more or less like just the front so I didn’t take another one. I have yet to cut the lining fabric out for this dress, as I didn’t know what I […]

Queen Anne Dress: Part One

March 11, 2017 by kelerr

The month since my last post has been a crazy whirlwind of activity to prepare for the school musical.  Said musical took place Thursday and Friday and was declared a big hit.  I’m already feeling the PSD (post-show depression).  It’s bad this year because we had such a good crop of talent, kids who genuinely enjoyed working with us and each other and it’s definitely sad to have it all said and done.  However, it also means that my time […]
