Hi Darlings!
I am so glad Monday is over. Yesterday I was on a bad eating kick, which I do every month when it gets near that time of the month. It's like I get so hungry and nothing will satisfy my hunger unless it is greasy, cheesy, chocolaty or fried! lol ugh! So yesterday we filled our faces with onion rings, burgers and egg rolls (I know the mix is nuts) Now I just feel gross and I am still full, lol! Today I just want fresh, clean and light please.....Now on to some DIY goodness
PATTERN REVIEW
Fabric Used: Pebble Finish Crepe Double Knit (similar) HERE and HERE (use code "MIMIG")
Pattern Sizing: I cut the 8
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done? Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow? YES! this is such an easy dress to make. I didn't need the instructions but I did review them and they were clear. It sews up really fast and is a great beginner pattern for any Vogue pattern virgins.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I just liked it and when I made it I needed an easy no brainer sewing project and this was perfect.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None. I did have to remove a 2" of ease from the waist.
Would you sew it again? I might one day, yes.
Would you recommend it to others? Yes I would.
xoxo

ReplyDeleteI feel ya on that food issue.... However, you still look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, why are you so hot! You always look so good, I loove your shoes!
ReplyDeleteYour style is so fab that even one of my non-sewing friends follow you.
ReplyDeleteI love this color and it is fab on you I just got some patterns from Vogue. I like the way you get the fit perfect. I have to get a refresher course on that (Perfect fit).
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me is that the ENTIRE look is always on point! It is basically a given that your clothes will always be FAB, but head to toe is always styled perfect but still unique. It looks effortless but I'm sure it takes work! I know all of us are wishing we had your eye - one day, lol!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi, love the how you make the clothes look so awesome. You are my inspiration for sewing and I sew with much more confidance than before. I wanted to ask if you find a fabric that you like but don't have a yet an idea what will you sew, would you just get like 2yds? Thanks for taking your time to share with us, all those great projects.
