Kwik Sew Pattern: 3489
Pattern Description: Misses' fitted wrap dresses have waist seam, flared skirt with shaped front edge, V-neckline, bust darts, and self-fabric ties.
Pattern Sizing: XS-L: I cut the extra small
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes.
Were the instructions easy to follow?I had never done a kwik sew pattern before but I found it to be a really good pattern, easy to follow and the paper is nice and thick not like the big 4 What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I didn't dislike anything.
Fabric Used: Argyle Sweater Knit
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: The only thing that I had to do was take out 3" ease because even though I cut the XS it was still really big.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I am sure with some design changes I will use this again as a TNT
Conclusion: I love this dress but I am mostly in love with my fabric!!! you can see more on my
The fabric I used from Joanns
So I have been knitting again and one my friends wanted to learn so I gave her the CD-Rom I used to teach myself and withing the week she was knitting up a hat :) so I made her a handbag to carry her knitting in :) I liked it so much I almost kept it...LOL, here I am modeling it before I gave it away *tear*
The back:
Girl too cute. I have this pattern too because I'm a wrap dress junkie lol. Was this your "saturday project" :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the purse! I'm in the purse making mode right now too. What pattern did you use, if any? Girl, how do you wear those pointy toed heels. You must have tiny narrow feet. Lucky!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress! I've used it a couple of times! Cute bags!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cute on you. The fabric is great. I really like the purse, too, lucky friend.
ReplyDeleteLove the purses! Did you make the pattern for those?
ReplyDeleteI have this same exact argyle knit only I got mine at Vogue Fabrics. Now I know what to do with it!
ReplyDeleteYou are really good at not only making beautiful garments, but also picking out things that look really nice on you. Love the argyle!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress. I am so happy to see you used a sweater knit because I have been wondering if I could use a sweater knit with a pattern that calls for a knit. WHere did you get that sweater knit? It is so pretty and I just love argyle.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress...the fabric really makes it!!
ReplyDeleteWell I just arrived from reading your review at PR. I cannot believe you got the fabric at JoAnn's. I like it. I need to visit our JA to see if they have something similar here. Dress looks great on you. I also love your purse.
