Summer Flowers V8901

6:29:00 PM shundra davis

Ive been gone so long!!!!

I know ..........Ive been gone WAAAYY to long , thats because I had a large order of 9 praise dance outfits and overlays that I agreed to do for a friends praise dance team .... Now ill say this ... I enjoy sewing for others .. but I LOVE sewing for myself. In the future I do plan to open a " Made To Order" Boutique ..but for now I look at this as a hobby so sewing for myself is what I PREFER ..at the moment ..

I do however plan to sell a few pieces BY REQUEST for the summer.

So stay tuned !

Ok ... On to the OOTD... the pattern that I used for this summer dress was V8901

Fabric for the bottom portion of dress was purchased from Iamsewblessed..com

Fabric: Rayon/Nylon Mix

Fabric for the top Portion of dress purchased from Hancock Fabric

Fabric: White Gabardine

I love how this dress turned out .

I originally cut a size 10 but quickly realized that it was to big because the sides of the dress flared out WAY to much so I had to adjust it a bit .

I added a invisible zipper to the back that blended in nicely .

Overall the dress pattern was really easy to follow . I haven't sewn for myself in over a month so I wasn't aware that I had dropped a size ... ( Im not complaining :) ) but it might have helped to have known that BEFORE I started cutting :)

I think the dress is the PERFECT summer dress , nice and breezy fabric with beautiful Summer colors ...

I love and I hope you do to!!

Until Next Time XOXOXO !!!
