Can you see the lovely side panel? It curves from halfway to center back up under the arm to a princess seam |
There's a center back zip (which I don't use in this version, but I am sure I will need in a leather version) |
The fabric is gorgeous - some kind of batik on a plaid cotton
|
Here is my first version: made in a cotton lawn - I put this one up at the store - I made an identical one for myself by the invisible zipper ate the lawn on my first zip - I immediately went out an bought a proper invisible zipper foot. These shots show the design lines nicely.
the curved side panel shows up well on this shot |
So - what else have I sewn?
I made a BBQ shirt for my DH using the bits from a shirt we ordered online (apparently an XXL for a child)
-I think the main fabric is a Kaufman Interweave chambray (pepper? I think) - I bought a remnant.
My friend gifted me some crazy poly-knit, I love it! So I made (another) Lisbon Cardigan
Here's another one I didn't blog from May (apparently that was my last haircut!):
I made a Plantain Tee out of a gorgeous Rayon jersey from my Nature's Fabrics prize pack

Today I will finish this dress. I totally messed with a woven pattern to make a knit version of view C
phew! two weeks of holidays, then I will tackle the leather shell - do you think denim will make a good test run?
