I just posted this in the 'What are you wearing' thread but I'll post it here as well.

I made this lovely dress from baby blue, 100% wool fabric, to keep me warm in the winter. When it gets colder I'll wear it with a turtle neck underneath. I LOVE this dress, and I want to make lots and lots of them!

It's made from Simplicity 3673. Altogether I think it took me... 3hours... max, to put together. Dead easy.

That looks great!

I am going to make this dress for Thanksgiving this weekend, good to know it is easy. I have some black velvet, so I have to get it right! (Velvet is so expensive...)

Thank you!

Thank you! It has taken years to get here! That dress is an original design by me and basically just made pattern from picture. But then again I have been sewing since age 13.

I just posted this in the What are you wearing thread, but I made this skirt recently:

Again, a dead easy piece to make. Took me a couple hours max. I have the matching bolero cut out and ready to make as well - I'll probably put that together tomorrow. I'm looking forward to doing the whole ensemble.

So weird guys, I just bought this and I'm making it thanksgiving weekend. I'll be up north Michigan at my cottage, and when it's cold there's really not a lot to do so I always bring activities I got a purple herringbone fabric that should work well with it.

Is this dress too fancy for a winter wedding?

I'm going to make the under layer a deep purple and the top tulle part a pretty lavender, and I'm also adding straps made from the tulle. I don't do well in the strapless look, and I don't think it's very attractive anyway.

Is tulle strong enough to use for straps? It rips so easily.

I would make a wrap or bolero to go with it. If you're going to a church wedding, you might need your shoulders covered.

kamikat and lyburnum, just wonderful !!!

The pattern doesn't call for straps so I'm sure the dress will hold it's self up fine, I'm adding the straps just because I don't like the strapless look on me.

I think I was just going to wear this little cardigan that I have, I was open to ideas though because I wasn't sure how that was going to look. I just need long sleeves, cause I'll probably have it on through the wedding and probably dinner too.

Actually, tulle straps sound itchy to me.

I love it. You have such an Audrey Hepburn look.

Sorry if it's like a given in this thread or if someone has already posted these websites, but I fell in love with a few of the really expensive ones...

Oh Kim, how cute is your oven mitt. Sorry about your machine, they do get on a bit.

This dress was made from Simplicity 3620, a current pattern but one that feels very sixties to me with the shape and bow.

Here's a closer look at the bow. It's really what drew me to the pattern yesterday. I don't know when the Simplicity sale ends, but they're on sale at Hancocks right now for $1.99.

 

[Ada Veen]

That bow is just darling!

 

[goldwyn girl]

The bow is a fab detail !!!

 

[Fancy Mouse]

Ooh, I just saw that pattern yesterday too and thought it had that sixties look to it. The bow is adorable.

 

[goldwyn girl]

This skirt started out life as a dress with a 20 inch waist, who has a 20 inch waist ???!!!, anyway I just could'nt leave it so I bought it took it to pieces and made a skirt.
