Sewing Adventures – Navy Floral dress

Sometimes you just need a fast trouble free sew and this is mine, standard bodice block, cut the skirt the width of the fabric to either pleat or gather. Invisible zip, bias bind neck and armholes then done. Easy made it a fair few times before.

Then you try the dress on immediately break the invisible zip, need to unpick, re insert, don’t like how it lines up, throw it in the naughty corner while you go overseas on holiday, come back re insert again and by now are so over it you don’t mind it’s not 100% lined up so you just finish it and be done. So yeah totally a fast sew..

Pattern: My bodice block and skirt is the width of the fabric front and back

Fabric: cotton lawn picked up in Cabramatta for about $8 a metre possibly less

Alterations: bodice may need adjusting now I have refitted my bras? also wrinkle on back? bad posture or needs a bigger sway back adjustment?
