Making a Tropical 1940's Dress - Summer Sewing 2019

Welcome back to my sewing room where today I'm making another 1940's inspired dress, again in rayon challis! This time we have a lovely colorful tropical print to work with before summer ends here :) Watch me pattern draft and sew, cut a few corners and stitch late into the night once again. I am super happy with how this dress came out and I can't wait to make this pattern in another fabric! The next project will be a 1950's inspired dress in cotton sateen, so that will be a nice change from all this rayon lately! Again, yes I sew over pins, yes I am kinda sloppy with lazy zippers--I'll sew my way, you can sew your way, and we will all make cute stuff mmkay? Mmkay :) The underarm kimono sleeve stitching in more detail from Lilacs & Lace, one of my very favorite best sewing blogs: http://www.lauramaedesigns.com/2015/02/reinforcing-kimono-sleeve-tutorial.html Music from Epidemic Sound More from me?
