Desktop fancy: May calendar

Another month has sneak up on us. What have you got planned for May? This month, I am determine to finish my Colette Pastille dress. It is the most difficult dress I've worked with and I have been hearing lots of horror stories regarding the fit. Hopefully, all will go well and something decent will come out of it. Apart from that, I am also working on a new crochet project, contemplating a short weekend day trip and hopefully sort out all our US happy snaps. Geez, lots to do! Hope you enjoy this May calendar. Don't you just love lovebirds?

Fancy sewing: Fruity tutti dress

Spent Saturday afternoon finishing this fruity tutti dress. Was so happy with the result that I wore it twice in a row over the next two days. The pattern I've used was the V8555 from the Vogue Easy Options range. Am starting to understand the importance of lining even though it meant taking twice as long to finish a project. Really loving the abstract floral fabric, however am now contemplating on investing in better fabric now that I'm more confident with my sewing. Didn't have to make any alterations to the pattern apart from trimming 2.5 inches off the hem. Pretty confident that I'll be making a different version of this dress in the very near future.

Happy Friday everyone!

Sewing fancy: Colette meringue skirt

My  Colette Sewing Handbook  arrived the other day and I thought I'll try making my own meringue skirt. The scallop edge is a lot easier than I thought, the only problem I encountered was accidentally cutting off some of the stitchings while grading the hem seams. I'll try not to be so clumsy next time. The fit was perfect, I didn't have to alter it in anyway, can definitely se myself sewing a couple more in the near future.
