Last weekend, I celebrated my birthday (I’m now 29, if
you care to know). I was rather spoiled, as you can see.
(Sorry for the blurry phone pic. You might have recognized Colette Pattern's Lily, Sencha, Violet and Ginger, as well as Sewaholic's Lonsdale. Yeah,
I know. None of these patterns are actually listed in the to-sew list I tried
to make a while back…)
And
of course, among what you can see, is my next sewing project…a guess,
anyone ? No ? Well, here’s another clue :
Ah,
this is becoming clearer now, does’nt it ? I think the Lily would look quite great in this fabric, and I’m even happier with my
choice since I saw that a well-known blogger lady, whose good taste cannot be questioned
(in my humble opinion at least), is also going to make a Lily in a Hawaiian
inspired fabric.
Now
here is what I will do : I will try to cover all the steps in the
construction of this dress, from cutting
the pattern pieces to sewing the final hem on the finished dress. I won’t be
calling this a sewalong, as I am not yet a skilled enough sewer to give any
sort of advice. However, of course, you will be welcome to bear with me as I go
through the steps until my Lily is done, and comment as much as you like if you
have any piece of advice that might be useful.
Having
a rather heavy work schedule, I have to warn you that the process will be a
slow one, and that I will probably not be as well organized as other bloggers
might be. But keep your eyes peeled, I’ll try my best to give you more news
before next Monday !
See
ya, all !

Oh! A Lily in this fabric would be just gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing your progress!
RépondreSupprimerOh I love that fabric!!! Cant wait to read more about it!
RépondreSupprimerHaha, don't worry, you will!That's the good point of blogging about what I sew, it motivates me to sew more regularly and think more on what I'm doing!Kind of a virtuous circle actually!
