This fabric is so soft and stretchy, I knew it would be a dress for me one day. The blue color was gorgeous. My friend asked me if I wanted to go dancing this Saturday night, so today was the day.
This was my first attempt at draping and it was harder than I thought it would be. I stuck myself with pins several times. Ow!
I started out with four rectangles and sewed them together in a T shape. I had to do a lot of pinning on the sides to get it fitted just right and I couldn’t decide how to do the sleeves. I must have stood in front of the mirror in my sewing room with pins in my mouth changing the top over and over again for an hour and a half.
The finished product:
fyi: I don’t wear that much makeup ever, unless I’m going dancing.
